Just a thought but could you ask people on your forum to sned in reg numbers of cars they used to own or used to see about? That way maybe a quick check on the DVLA thing will reveal whether recently taxed etc? Well, the list we get doesnt have registration numbers, as for the forum members, we have checked a few and most are pretty close - as much as we can gauge anyhow. Things like a 710 SSS theres supposedly 3 left but we know of another 2/3 stashed from before the regs came in. Am I close on the Datsun guess? Less that half what you said 19 Datsun B310 Coupes last time they checked... but frankly I'd at least double that. Its amazing how many cars appear out of the woodwork when they become popular. Just ask rmad and the Skoda S110R Well they've dropped to 13 on the newest list. Id say with any of these lists/figures, if you add 50%odd you'll get a more realistic figure as to what may actually be left. Either way, its a good guide. Plus, even if you double those numbers, its still scarily low!!

i would love to know how many Fiat panda selectas are around, as they very rarely come up for sale, and most of them went to the scrappy due to lack of servicing on the CVT transmission

I wanna know how many Chrysler 180s there are left. Vicsmith has one on here, and i've never seen another. Bet you'd be lucky to count the ones that are left on one hand.

Well I had a '66 Sceptre, and that's still about. Probably more Sceptres surviving than lower models like the Super Minx, and that's a situation that will only get worse, as the 'condition 3' value as quoted by Practical Classics and the like is below the current scrap value. I guess this is true of alot of stuff now (pretty much everything that isn't a VW / Ford) so the supply of projects and spares cars will diminish greatly ...

The strada- I guess is still officially mine (well I still have the log book at the moment lol).. and according to practical classics a few months back there were only about 78 of them left... how many of them are the 130 tc's rather than the lowly 85 I have no idea.. I would imagine most of them to be honest... lol

Datsun VB110... I think the official figure is 1, then there is mine and possibly another in the UK

the Zephyr must be pretty rare in the uk, the MkIV was not a popular model, most paying the extra for the Zodiac version as for the Mk5 cortina, theres still plenty left, at present. The 2.3 ghia with original manual box being rare-ish but the Mk4 is much rarer, although i don't have a mk4. ;D

I've only seen one other 1973-1975 Chevy Blazer/Pickup in the country (the one with the completely removable hard-top like mine - not just the removable back) and that was off the road with no engine. No idea how many there are though, but I sure as heck haven't seen many. Quite a few of the later ones though with the enclosed cab.

There's quite a few Amazons still kicking around - there's 3 within a 10 mile radius to me.
Total production was around 700,000 and a fair few of those are still in use. Especially the 121s. They made 67,000 of those in 1966 which makes them the most numerous Amazon eVar.
Only real rare variants of the Amazon [now] were the early R Sport types, the Coune dropheads, the 123GT and the 122SR. And I imagine the pleb-u-like Favorits are scarce now too.
Piazza is rare. Non HBL and HBL models totalled about 1600 between '86 and '90. SMMT say there's 70 left registered and IPTOC know of 20 of them. One turned up in Gosforth Autos, there's a few now and again on evilBay and I know of one in Ashton Village near Sale.

Rare overall or just in the UK? I think my KHGC110 is a fairly rare beast over here. I do however know of several. Though in the UK is rarer still! I'm sure you have the numbers for that The S21 Prince Skyline. I have never seen another one in the steel, I know of the existence of a couple of the Skyway wagons in the same front, and of 2 BLSI-III Prince Skyline's in the shape beforehand. So, I dare not think of just how rare it is, it makes me worried that it's in my hands! The S12 Silvia, there's still afew about over here though I doubt there is as many here as there is there in the UK.

Yeh, I'm mainly talking about in the UK, but also where any of you live is interesting! The KHGC110 is in single figures here, and i believe all all are accounted for amongst the community. Even my POS cherry is near extinction!

Not rare at all, though most 205 Gti's are now in the hands of enthusiasts (or is that anoraks?). Even Mi16 engined ones are quite comman though I never see any on my travels. There is still quite a few non Gti 205's about.

Everyone seems to have a chevette thought I was being original when I bought it Try finding a chevanne then - classic Van magazine said less than five left, over a year ago.

I still have not seen another round headlight Celeste GSR There was a later square headlight one on the Bay last week which was a shock Having said that, STs and GTs are really hard to find, and like everyone else would love to have some sort of idea of how many left

I see maybe a couple of E21s on the road each year, certainely not common, but then again I do own six of them. I own an italien import LHD E21 315, which is the lowest povo spec base model. I'd like to know how many of them have filtered into the UK as our base model was the 316, although it's being scrapped in the near future.
My dad owns a 1927 Alvis Silver Eagle and a 50's Alvis TD21 which should be more rare. He also has a bright pink Ford Zodiac limo...

I'd say easily less than 10 with the "Turbo SR" badge... but there's still quite a few Bluebird turbos around (100-200 at a guess?).
