    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???? :?: :?:

        Is it 544 on the road and 23 sorn?

        or is it 23 of the 544 are SORN?
        i believe there are 544 of which 23 are sorn
        so actually on the road is 521

        sorry i should have written it a little clearer :wink:

            Steve.
            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 :?:

                Good work Ron.

                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 actually exported my e30 m3 and that was SORN and I contacted the DVLA to inform them that the car was leaving the country.

                  There could be cars that have been exported that are defined as SORN as owners didnt state that they were exporting them

                    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.

                              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 :)
