Arnages in UK

[RoyaleDetailing]

Just wondering how many Bentley Arnages were sold in the UK? Obviously not sold in the millions, but it surprised me that there are currently 120 cars for sale on Autotrader right now! Seems like quite a high number for such a car.

[6750cc]

I seem to recollect Arnage production peaking at close to 1,000 units per year and perhaps averaging around 500 cars per year over 10 years. I also seem to remember that the UK has historically accounted for around 30% of sales, suggesting about 1,700 cars in total.

I would therefore guess that the 120 cars for sale represent about 7% of UK examples...but my numbers may be way out!

Not sure if 7% is a high proportion of cars to be for sale?

Cheers,

Andy

1700 is almost exactly the number the howmanyleft site says are registered, if you add up the 8 variations listed

Good estimate Andy! Pretty much bang on the money!

My guess is that 7% is a bit high, and i guess when you take into account all the other cars for sale elsewhere (ebay etc) its probably about 10%+, and for me seems a bit high. I would imagine many of these cars come up for sale when the larger items of work are due, and that was certainly the case with Ferrari which I am more familiar with.
