How Many Left?

Post by Ian Mac » 27 Jun 2011 01:37 pm

This is a useful site for anyone who hasn't seen it. Simply type in a vehicle make and model and it will tell you how many are currently taxed or declared SORN in the UK.

Interesting site - my Zone Alarm doesn't seem to like it - branding it "suspicious" ??

That's interesting, as a mate of mine coded the thing, he'd be interested to hear about Zone Alarm getting upset I'd imagine.

Checked and there are 29 Volvo 360 GLT left on the roads - and what look like ten SORN. However mine's a saloon and it didn't show that level of detail on the web page. Is it possible that I have the only one left? Come on, fess up; do you have a 360 GLT Saloon??

You don't want to see it - bit on the ratty / rusty side :( Pondering on getting the rear arches done this year, but familiar story - work may go belly up so saving my beer tokens for bread and water around Christmas time. I'll see if I've got any photos, but I've no idea how to put them up. May be easier to shove them on to my blog when I get 5 mins.

Can't find any photographs - I'll do some during the week and blog them up. Can't be too many saloons left now can there? Do hope my nail isn't the last one.

Makes me feel better that there's more than one left for some odd reason. Mine's got 130,000 up and looks it. Yet the poor dear keeps on going. My children used to call it "Rubbish Car" as it was expected to go into a skip within a year of my buying it. However it gets a bit of welding each MOT and has passed four of the tests now. My kids have stopped calling it rubbish and want it kept forever. Bless; in 20 years time it may well be worth £400 or even £500 if I do!
