How Many Left
« on: June 13, 2011, 17:20:32 »
A question oft asked and the power of the UK interweb is such that we now have a clue.... SORN means it's still a car but not being used/taxed for the road. Clearly this is not 100% accurate and tells us little of whether they are LHD or - more likely - RHD. 280s a problem....

And on that bombshell, I am off to Warsaw for a few days.  ;D

Hmm...... so from 1994 to 2010 the fleet of 230SLs almost doubled in the UK... and, just to double check, do the numbers indicate registered cars in a particular year or renewals every quarter? Enjoy Warsaw!
