Just wondering, with the number of coops that are falling into Carl's clutches and never seeing the light of day again, how many can be left on the roads in the UK?

Must admit that over the last few weeks I've hardly seen any at all and I'm on the road all the time.

Is there an online resource like the dvla that can provide that info or would I have to write to them in the old-fashioned style?

Anybody care to hazard a guess at how many are left intact and registered?

I went to Tamworth on sunday, 140 mile journey there and back. Saw a handful of porsche's, two ferrari's, Loads of Evo's/Impreza's etc, but not one single coop.
Verdict? RARE.



Coopless!

I was wondering this too. I mean theres those common-as-muck 20vt's all over the place. But what about the 16v and vt?

They were only made for 2 years before production switched to the 20v versions and most are now hitting the 10yr mark. So just how many of these bad boys are still alive and kicking. (and have sub 60k on the clock like mine )

I thought it was 18 months

I think with the current trend, you'd be better off looking for them in McDonalds at 11pm


F****** b****** thing...

I looked into this as well. The figures are available, but they cost an insane amount of money to get hold of

Motorparc census,

And what about the minimum 400 they will have kept going??? Im quite sure every coupe slayed keeps two on the road, a bit longer. Either that or ive got 50 good customers with very unreliable cars.
