Probably something much faster, better specced and cheaper to run...
If they were already fuelling a Rallye they've probably gone for something better rather than a 99g/km eco shitbox. This is the reason the scrappage scheme didn't work, great in principle, who'd turn down a definite £2k for a knackered saxo? But the people driving the knackered saxo's couldn't afford anything better even with £2k off the purchase price (remember even tiny shitty cars were about £6k new). So the people that benefitted were people that already had money and relatively nice cars....so the dirty, high emmisions ones are still on the road despite the scheme lol.
Plus you don't know what state those scrapped rallyes were in, might've been rusty tappers anyway lol...
