Total number of wedges still on the road

[jwt666]

Hi all this may have been covered before but how many are still about . I remember reading somewhere that you can get this info from the dvla (including those on sorn ) but been on their website and cant find out how to do it . Any ideas out there
Cheers

You can check how many are left on; http://howmanyleft.co.uk/

ETA: there's also this site, which also shows the number of cars on SORN

Doesn't show how many 390SE are left on this site nor 350i either.

It doesn't, mainly because if you look at your V5 it will say Tasmin or blank for Model! TVR had a habbit of calling most of the cars Tasmins or didn't put a model type down at all! So the DVLA recorded them as that with just a different engine size!

So the data base fiquers are very misleading!

When we've done this in the past the general concensus is that TVR built about 2250 Wedges of all variants over a dozen years or so and abou 60-70% of them survive. What percentage are 'on the road' i.e. serviceable in any given year is probably skewed by the SORN record showing how many (or few) are being used at any time - plus it must take a finite amount of time to update the SORN database which might then miss cars that are only taxed for 6 months at a time.
