how accurate is the 'how many left' vehicle info?

I have seen various posts directed to that website.
If the vehicle was last taxed before 31st Jan 1998 you dont ned to make a SORN. Hence a 'barn' find car or one ' being restored" wont appear
Does anyone else know the other issues that may affect the accuracy of that info?
I know a lot of older cars dont have their own individual classification eg Lamborghini Espada.

I imported a gmc syclone last year and despite filling in every form correctly dvla decided to register it as a jeep pickup, here is just one example of why how many left is only a very rough guide.

I think this has been covered in General Gassing a couple of times. IMO, its not accurate at all. I did a FOI request on GranSports and was quite surprised how bad the information was. Something like 100 on there.....actual numbers is more like 22.

So yeah, poor IMO.
