According to figures that I have, a total of 821 RHD S50's were built, and 168 RHD S54's.
So going by your figures, there are an awful lot missing.
Surely figures from the DVLA only list cars registered in this country? Perhaps the other cars have been exported and are now registered outside the UK???? :?: :?:
S54 Phoneix Yellow/Black on Black, ACS Suspension, ACS Exhaust, ACS Short Shift, ACS Front Splitter, ACS Rear Spoiler

according to research carried out by greenbat earlier this year there were 609 mc's sold in the u.k
s50 492 and s54 117.
so therefore there are 65 missing which would be exported or written off.
I think the interesting statistic here is that there are 23 SORN MC's. Does this figure represent the very low mileage examples that a few car collectors are keeping pristine :?:

I think there may well be a few in storage for investment purposes. I heard of a e30 m3 Sport Evo that went for about £40k last year. It had about 2k miles on it and spent most if not all its life in storage. I'm not sure if the MC will ever attain Sport Evo status though. A half decent one still goes for £15k.
i believe there are 544 of which 23 are sorn
so actually on the road is 521
Nice work Ron. The MC get rarer and rarer. So those selling can actually state their car is 1 of about 544 remanining in the UK! So drive the message to the world!!

And even less if it's an S54.

2002 phoenix yellow. "V3RY M" lives on, but on another beast.
I have asked the dvla if they could break the numbers down into s50 and s54
and into colours, so should have more info soon.
So now we know how many mc there out there do we actually know how many of these are registered on this forum maybe we could have like a register in the sticky coloum, that way w could keep track of them, when they are bought and sold. it would be something else to add when selling the mc's, e.g member of z3m coupe forum for 3 years.
For example i would like to know if anyone on here previously owned my mc so i could ask them questions about it. etc. etc just a thought :)
i have been doing some diggin around at the dvla and have managed to come up with these
figures of how many m coupe are left and managed to break them down into colours (however not into specific colours)
licensed - sorn
total 544- 23
red 48 - 4
yellow 45 - 1
green 23 - 0
blue 165 - 7
grey 7 - 0
silver 139- 8
white 1 - 0
black 116 - 3
this includes s50 and s54
Does anyone know who has the White one or where its based...??? Totally Savage Colour....!!!
