Last time I looked they reckoned there were 274 of the 300 Metropolis models made still left on the road, which I think is a pretty good survival rate.

Have a 2007 D3 XS and am surprised that so few are still,in circulation compared to other models. Can only assume that very few were produced but why would LR go to,the time and trouble to make a limited run of certain models of what must have been a variation of a larger production run of others? Seems weird as I don't see what the XS has to offer that is anything extra special.Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.
How many 05 HSE autos are there ? I can't seem to see it
I can see there are 341 which i presume are manual but not auto, is it the 4.9 K above ?The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

You got me thinking Del. Did you mark your V5 on on old blue as Scrapped, or Exported?

Exported. And very straight forward to scrap it in Norway, foreign and local cars. Just needed a VIN, but doesn't need plates.
Well most of it was exported some was reimported The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

Do we need to add together all the years a model (eg my S spec) is made then see how many are left by referring to the 2017 column.
Am i being dim, i know you will tell the truth
Or are D3s not exploding at such a high rate after all.

Don't be daft, no apologies needed. Didn't mean my reply to read as sharp as it did.

No each year tells how many were on the register that year in total not new registrations, so the best you can do is take 2017 from the highest number to give the number no longer registered.==================================
05 D3 HSE V8 4.4
04 MG TF 135
03 MG TF 115 Cool Blue Edition
02 MG TF 160
00 Hymer B564 Lionheart
1971 Series III 109
