    Classic/older car? - How many survive?

    http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/

    Tracks how many cars of a particular model are still registered on the roads/SORN'd.

    I was surprised to find only 112 Mercedes W124 E300-24's left in the UK!

    How many of your car survive?
    Run, run in fear for I am the future of the NHS.

    Re: Classic/older car? - How many survive?

    Interesting site, thanks for sharing.

    I tried XR2i, Astra GTE, and Renault 5 Turbo, and they all seem to be getting scarce, yet none of them are really classics. Of course, the stupid scrappage scheme took a lot of the classics that people were holding on to. Lots of nice cars converted to fridges with that idea..

    Seen a couple popup for sale in the last 6 months and chances are they might not be the same ones you know (unless looking at the figures, they could have been fake ones!)

    Only 7 Matra Bagheeras left.

    Mind you, the wikipedia entry does say that it suffered from appalling build quality which I can confirm from my short period of ownership.
