To discover how many were registered with DVLA
sadly their records for older cars are incomplete- but some SORN info is available!
They say:
"About this website
How Many Left is a database and search engine of statistics about car, motorcycle and commercial vehicle models registered with the Driver Vehicle and Licensing Agency in the United Kingdom.
Which cars are in the database?
The database covers all vehicles currently known to the DVLA. However, not all vehicles that are counted in the database have a specific model name listed.
Individual vehicle model names come from a master list of Vehicle Makes and Models compiled by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and the DVLA.
The complete list is published here.
If a model isn't on the list, it will be counted against a catch-all category. If the manufacturer of the vehicle is listed, it will be in the counted against a special "Missing" model designation. If the manufacturer is not listed, it will be counted against a special "Other [nationality]" manufacturer designation (eg. "Other British").
If a specific model is not listed, it is likely to be because of one of the following reasons:
•The model pre-dates the computerisation of vehicle records at the DVLA in the 1970s.
•The model is very new and its registration has yet to be included in the statistics.
•It is a very low-production model and has not been given its own specific code (this applies to many super-car makes and models).
•The model was not sold as new in the UK market (eg. many Japanese grey imports)."
