How many Sierra's left
Just came across this site, while looking to find out how many of my model of car are registered in the UK, but I was suprised how few Sierra's
are left not looking good for Sierra based kits

good thing that they don't make kits out of cars like TR7 convertible auto, or Bristol 404,...!

How did you get 259? By my reading there are only 8 currently taxed and on the road, and 23 on SORN,...

I wonder how he persuaded the DoT to tell him those figures, or give access to the database?

Now!, they were worth a lot of money then!!!!
The odl man nearly bought one new at £24k and that was "cheap", which was still extortionate in the day

the boot open staring at the lump looking all confused

That will only tell you haw many are on the road/Sorn, I would imagine there are quite a few not on the system.
On the other hand there are probably a fair few that are sorned but dont acctualy exist anymore!

Only 97 Rover 800's left on the road. Anyone want to bag a bargain before it becomes 96?

Unlikely to have needed much persuasion. All publicly held information is available with a Freedom of Information request, as long as it's not
personal, sensitive, secret, etc.

yeah they ar just like the RS200's - the cheapest they've ever been was brand new!
there was one on that car and classis site for a while at £80k - and it sold (of course I don't know if they got the full 80k or not....)
dear santa, I've been a good boy this year so can you please bring me a 6R4.....

Easy, the dvla will sell it to you, thats how the dodgy carparks know where to send the fake penalty tickets too.

And no Mclarens either.

I like that site, I was amazed to find the number of 205 gentry's still about (Considering how har it is to find them for sale). Weirdly there
are two more for this year than the end of last year but I suppose they could be imports.
Didn't someone on here say you could get Sierras much cheaper in Europe where it's harder to register a kit so they've not all been
canabalised?

The current issue of Practical Classics has an article with figures from the DVLA.
Seem to recall there are about 42,000 Sierras.
