I have to ask why?


The whole point of a car is to enjoy driving it, not to store it surely?

I find cars tend to survive longer if used rather than laid up.

Sites like How Many Left rely on DVLA data - and the problem with MG Rover vehicles (and some other brands) is that some dealerships recorded information about the exact vehicle type differently to others.

For example, I have a 75 Diesel.
This could be with the DVLA as:
- Rover 75
- Rover 75 Connoisseur
- Rover 75 Connoisseur CDTi
- Rover 75 SE
- Rover 75 Connoisseur Automatic
- Rover 75 Connoisseur Automatic CDTi

The exact model wasn't always recorded, a Conny SE could be down as just as Conny etc etc.
Long and short is there are probably a lot more than the numbers you have, but recorded as slightly different things with the DVLA.

I have a Contemporary SE diesel Tourer, and the stats say only around 20 or so like mine still registered. I don't believe it, as I've seen at least one or two others just like mine driving around!

But it's nice to think you're driving around in a rare (future) classic car On that point, I keep seeing cars I used to own now selling for big money, which makes me think why did I ever let them go! Just today, I saw a BMW M535i offered at £15,000 (I sold mine for about £2k). I'm sure my BMW 750iL V12 would now be appreciating in value, but my daughters let it go for €400 only 2 years ago (it was sitting in Spain not being used as they found it "too big to easily park" and I was working abroad at the time, so they gave it away to "compramostucoche" - same as webuyanycar.com) It even had those lovely 18" or 19" deep dish BMW alloys that were worth far more than €400... Such is life!

I have a car which is rarely used and that’s my choice but it’s stored properly in a Carcoon and it’s now better than the day I bought it so storing a car properly actually preserves it not harms it

Excellent news, my Connie CDTI Tourer with just 36500 on the clock is a keeper.
