How rare is your Z?

[Zeld4]

Where have all the coupes gone? Also the first manual coupe wasn’t registered till the 4th quarter of 2007. Doesn’t look or sound right to me.

[Mr Tidy]

That definitely isn't right - both of mine were registered in December 2006!

Doesnt list the SMG which must be super rare

I wonder what the Z4 Si Sport is?[/quote]

I have a 3.0Si Sport roadster which on the log book shows as a Z4 Si Sport

[earthdweller]

But according to the Z4 list on here it’s one of 12 titanium/Syrah Si Roadsters registered in UK .. so unlikely to bump into another one .. that’s assuming all 12 still exist

Mine is the only one I know of with a turbo instead of a back box. And it’s the only one painted it’s perticular shade of blue. So I will clame the title of the rearest zed thanks.

How do you get it down to individual colours rather than just the model?

Pretty rare really going by the database "tonyz4c" put together!

Based on that the UK got only 4 Montego Blue Sport Coupes with Pearl Grey Leather and Cirrus Aluminium trim, and mine is 1 of them.

Where can we find this database you mention?

Is it possible to find out how many are on an '09 plate?

I work with this sort of data as part of my job.

The problem with the data used by How Many Left is it's based on the description of the vehicle the DVLA hold which is never that accurate and often isn't granular enough (it may not separate by transmission, no. of doors, etc). The data comes from a spreadsheet freely available on the Gov website... https://www.gov.uk/government/statistic ... le-veh0120 which is updated every quarter.

There are lots of other reports in there too. Quite interesting if you like that sort of thing. For example VEH0130 gives an insight into the rate at which EV sales are starting to accelerate (although still a small percentage of overall sales).

Thatcham (the people who test immobilisers and trackers) maintain a list of every vehicle out there with model specific granularity. Unfortunately, they aren't able to append sales data. Too much to wish for I guess.

I think this is the one you're after... http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/ Very good site it is too!

You sure you're not reading it the wrong way round?! I think the row you're referring to is saying 5 were registered by the end of 2007, 43 by the end of 2008 and 63 by the end of 2009. Currently 56. I can see 4 are SORN'ed... so 60 in total, meaning only 3 have bitten the dust so far!
