The most interesting figure, which they don't know, is how many are still out there, still not recorded on the DVLA computer, not licensed, and not SORN.

Don't take that site seriously, According to that site, I have one of only 4 of a particular vehicle left. Total bollkos as I know of at least a dozen personally.busguy wrote:The most interesting figure, which they don't know, is how many are still out there, still not recorded on the DVLA computer, not licensed, and not SORN.
Not minors, but that's irrelevant.

They are doing what they can with the data they have I guess.
There seem to be a fair few Morris Missings, not a model I've heard of

You don't want a Morris Missing. They run rough and often vanish in the night

I wouldn't rely on those websites. They can only be as good as the recorded data. I have two 1000 saloons, one is correctly listed as 'Morris Minor 1000 saloon 948 cc', the other as 'Morris saloon rigid body', which is much less likely to come up. When the cars were put on the DVLA computer years ago it was all down to the care of the data clerk and they were notoriously sloppy in the early days. I had one car recorded as '30 000cc' - I wish!

Re: How many Minors are left?
There is another issue too which will lead to inaccuracies. A couple of years ago I bought a very rusty Minor 1000 saloon and stripped it for useful spares. I got a local scrapman to remove the remains of the shell and tried to send the V5 document to the DVLA, as you used to previously, with a box ticked to say that the car had been broken up. The newer V5s don't have that option. You can only add the name of the person you transfered the car to, which I didn't have, OR as the DVLA informed me, continue to have the car registered to me and keep it on SORN, which is what I've done
Therefore, the car will still show up as "existing" although it doesn't. How many more are there like that?
