Rich.2211 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 There's a lady who owns one that lives a few hundred yards further down the road from me. I've left a club card under the wiper but to no avail. It's a white facelift with the OEM body kit and she advertises her art business on the back of it. Very rarely see it move, shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Or we could just check the (at least) 6 other threads about the howmanyleft website: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/search.php?searchid=3537392 Minus another 20 or so seeing as we are just over half way through winter. FWIW, I'd guess there are more supra owners that aren't active members than are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 There's one just down from me, again card under the wiper but I don't think he's on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Moving beyond the I've got one stage its a fairly simple statistical exercise. There are 25mn vehicles in the UK with typically 500,000 on sale at any one time. So if 2% of stock is selling then taking ebay, piston heads, motor, here and autotrader there are around 60 Supras for sale. Using a scale up that would lead you to an estimate of 3,000 Supras in the UK; give or take a few hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Moving beyond the I've got one stage its a fairly simple statistical exercise. There are 25mn vehicles in the UK with typically 500,000 on sale at any one time. So if 2% of stock is selling then taking ebay, piston heads, motor, here and autotrader there are around 60 Supras for sale. Using a scale up that would lead you to an estimate of 3,000 Supras in the UK; give or take a few hundred. Pretty good. That's probably as sensible an extrapolation as we're likely to get. The 2% might be baised towards cars that are traded frequently, but I appreciate it's an estimate and it feels like it gives a beliebable figure.

st3ven1 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 There are 25mn vehicles in the UK Not even close, there will likely be over 35 million according to this: http://racfoundation.wordpress.com/2013/04/12/number-of-vehicles-in-uk-hits-new-high/ And it'll be worth mentioning that is licenced vehicles, not ones that are sorn, which will more than likely account for a small percentage of supras. 2%? Where do you get this figure from? That seems extremely high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I wasn't including tractors, busses and tanks. that's the number of light vehicles. Though it does look like my 25mn should have been 28mn. The 500,000 for sale s figure comes from the 350,000 in autotrader and working on roughly 50% of everywhere else; assuming an element of overlap. If you can be bothered to track down every source I think you'll find 3,000 Supras in the UK (SORN and on the road) will be in the right ballpark.
