Great find, this pleases the geek in me immensely.

There's only 247 Pug 205's left!?

edit: oh wait, they're all listed under seperate models.

[nonuts]

Wow, very cool, I thought there would be more than 918 M3 Evo's left!

[Chrisw666]

There goes another days work...

[mnkiboy]

Also shows up the DVLA's excellent data quality, as there are 1123 Fiat Punto Sproting's on the road, as well as 1233 Fiat Punto Sporting's.

[thinfourth2]

Have you seen how many ford crapys are left

[mnkiboy]

There are 404 Peugeot 404's left.

Right, back to work...

Only 12 Sunbeam Ti's left......

Mind you they weren't easy to find back in 1986 when I bought mine!!!!!!

[I guess though this is current VED cars, not cars that may be on SORN...or sitting in a barn or lock up somewhere with a lapsed VED.....???]

This is true. Look at the list of Aston martins:

Rapide. Over 12,000 on the roads in 2001 (!)
The Virage Vantage( I presume they mean the twin blower version) 10,000 odd. They made less then 300. 1300 DB1 (they made less then 20)...

Very appor show. And these people are responsable for a lot of other important information about ourselves.

A few things don't add up...

For Example:

Ford Focus ST500 - 859

Surely there should be at most, 500? as only 500 we made no?

And:

Volkswagen Golf SE - 3

I've seen more than 3 myself...

I don't get it, someone please correct me...

[samdale]

Only 30 of mine left

And that's down from over 10,000 in 1994!

Comes down to data quality again. Multiple vehicle desriptions being set up for the same model. For example look at VW: There are apparently only 2 Golf S TDi in existence. I can see 2 in our company car park!

And we wonder why they constantly make mistakes...

That's insane...

I cant even see my model of car on there... I wonder what they've classed it as... It's a VW Bora 1.9Tdi ST PD130 (gasp for breath)

The trouble is this is wholly reliant on what's recorded on the logbook, and that is dependant on who filled that out in the very begining when the car was new.

I can remember years and years ago, in respect of the Mk1 RS Escorts, there would be a huge variation in how the models were recorded on logbooks depending how they were registered when new.
I've seen RS2000 logbooks with the model registered as just an Escort, as an Escort RS and as an Escort RS2000.
So, on this DVLA list you couldn't find out how many Mk1 RS2000's are left because they could be split over three categories and over two types (Mk1 and Mk2)

3701 ST24's on the road. Spare parts ahoy!

[Rawwr]

46 x Lotus 340R!

I think I may need to dump all that into SQL tonight and make a little webby front-end to make it a little more user friendly.

[YesItsARover]

According to that data, there are only 90 of the MG ZS with a v6, yet 475 X-Power SV's of various flavours?

[mnkiboy]

By far the most popular car in the UK is the 'Other British Missing'. There are a staggering 265558 of these mysterious vehicles on the roads.

Only 6 Toyota Celsiors in the country
