Wedge odds....
Discussion
You know that winning the lotto is 14 million to one?
Well, here's some statistics to make you feel smug in the knowledge that you drive a car few others have (thread inspired by the Tasmin 200 one elsewhere..)
In order from the most common (i.e 3 numbers) to all six numbers and the bonus, on a double rollover
350i DHC 897 built
280i DHC 862
400SE DHC 242
280i FHC(s2) 140
280i FHC(s1) 118
390SE/420SE 103
350i FHC 52
280i 2+2FHC 47
200 DHC 45
420SEAC DHC 37
450SE DHC 35
450SEAC DHC 18
200 FHC 16
350i 2+2 FHC 6
350SX DHC 3-5
280i Turbo FHC 1
280i Turbo DHC 1
660SE DHC 1
Yes, I know, there was Peter's White Elephant, and supposedly a 500SE or two, and maybe a 350 turbo, and a 4WD one, and an estate, and one that could fly plus all the ones that didn't work or were cancelled (420 Sports Saloon, Speed Eight (twice) ) but for those recently joined or lurking with a view to buying a Wedge, now you know what odds you're up against. Total Wedge production over, what, 11 years ? was some 2600 cars: at the height of Chimaera production they were making almost that many A YEAR. Common as muck.
