That's a lot of missing Ferraris. Has anybody called the police?
More seriously, here's an explanation of what that means and why the Enzo may not appear: http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/about/#whichcars

DVLA data is mostly accurate, other than the classification of various models. For instance, I don't think there are only 5 Speciales. Some of them will be recorded under the 458 Italia line. The same will be true for Scud, only some of which are registered on the database under the Scud total - others find their way into the 430 figures. CS does not even feature at all, so they are in the 360 figures.
For most brands the data is good enough because they are dealing in much larger numbers and have far fewer odd models percentage-wise. For niche brands like Ferrari it is much less accurate because of their lower volumes. Perhaps Ferrari doesn't mind that?…..

Surprised there are that many SA Apertas, always thought there were only one or two for some reason.
Whereas HROwen Ferrari in London actually sold more than 8 of the total themselves anyway, it's actually a conservative number for the reasons above.Shmee said:

HR Owen supplied 6 Apertas.I have looked at the DVLA figures before and I cannot reconcile them. If you look at the cars first registered data and, for example, it shows 100 cars of a particular model registered new then I would expect to find the number taxed plus the number SORNed to total 100 but it never does and I'm not clear why.
Of course, the numbers also never include Northern or Southern Ireland or the Channel Islands which are all supplied through Ferrari in the UK.

dont forget exports and write offs..... exports in particular affect lambo/ferrari numbersI have looked at the DVLA figures before and I cannot reconcile them.

Yes indeed. But what I meant was if a car is showing on the numbers as registered new in the UK (DVLA statistics reference VEH160) then you would surely expect it to immediately show up on the taxed (VEH120) or SORN (VEH121) figures for that quarter but the numbers don't tie up. I don't know what the explanation is but I don't discount some kind of error in how the DVLA extract their licensing data especially given it is only something they do because they have to rather than being a core task for them.Jonathan
