Saw this on TG the other week. Thought it would be fun. This web site will tell you how many cars, exactly the same as yours, are left on the roads of the UK today. Lets see who has the most common, and who's is rere.

Only 887 A4 Quattro Sline SE around - the Avants are pretty rare though but these are combined with the saloon stats for 2007, in 2018 there were only 23 Avants of this spec.

So I think I'm pretty rare, but I've seen 1 identical car and 1 2010 model of the same spec so far.

Info is way out

It thinks there are hardly any stageas in the uk because the dvla registers most of them as just nissans.

It doesn't show how many were made, it shows how many were registered on the road. There may have been 31 sat in a feild, or set up for racing, that got converted back and taxed.

I think there is a big hole in the original DVLA data - there is probably an other category with millions of cars listed.

Default Re: Is your car common?

yeah, the website is a bit confusing

if I go by V5 log book it's 59
if I go by engine size it's 255

in regards to mondeo
by engine size 3329
by type of engine 259

very confusing
