WTF: MR2 SW20 in British Cash for Clunkers

I spotted this picture on Jalopnik yesterday:
British Cash for Clunkers: 14000 clunkers
British Cash for Clunkers: 14000 clunkers

That’s 14K of pretty good drivable cars packed together on an airfield waiting to be destroyed. That’s even worse that the German CFC where the cars may be reused for parts…

Normally I wouldn’t have posted this here, but when I read the full article on the Daily Mail I spotted this:
British Cash for Clunkers: 14000 clunkers
British Cash for Clunkers: 14000 clunkers

What sick mind trades in their SW20 MR2 in a Cash for Clunkers arrangement?? I can understand trading in the Corolla EE80 above (or the AWD Subaru GL somewhere in the middle) because it is a good deal. However a MR2? Did the owner think it was worth less than 2000 pounds??

BTW: someone also traded in their (immitation?) Ford Racing Puma on the mid right… Weren’t those limited to 500 cars? Or is it an imitation bodykit?
