Rarity!
« on: 18, February, 2013 - 06:29:59 »
In my quest for a wing mirror I stumbled upon a fantastic little website... howmanyleft.co.uk ! I can't make it clickable as I'm on my phone, but it tells you how many registered vehicles there are of a model left on the roads. Fascinating read. My Xantia is one of only 66 1.9TD Dimension II's left on the road, and there are only 13,000 Xantias out of the 1.2 million produced! Snide French car comments aside, that's quite amazing! Really worth a look :-)

What's even more interesting than my ultra-rare Xantia is that there are only 36 Datsuns left on the road! I find that incredible given their supreme engineering and anti-corrosion techniques!!! Ha. A ha ha. AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Poor little Cherries are now rarer than Jaguar E Types lol :-)
