Not sure when these figures where put together or how accurate they are, I got these from another forum and they guy who posted it said he got the stats from DVLA.

Number of 850 T5-R’s currently on DVLA records in UK
850 T5-R Saloon Manual: 44 + (8 SORN) total = 52
850 T5-R Estate Manual: 111 + (28 SORN) total = 139
850 T5-R Saloon Auto: 25 + (9 SORN) total = 34
850 T5-R Estate Auto: 116 + (21 SORN) total = 137

Colour break down for T5-R
Red = 6
Yellow = 113
Green = 158
Blue = 3
Mauve = 2
Grey = 0
Silver = 1
White = 1
Black = 78
Turquoise = 0

Total T5-R’s = 362

Number of 850 R’s currently on DVLA records in UK
850 R Saloon Manual: 23 + (9 SORN) total = 32
850 R Estate Manual: 148 + (15 SORN) total = 163
850 R Saloon Auto: 30 + (10 SORN) total = 40

Thanks Steve,
So it appears there are more R's than T5-R's, which surprised me...
That will disappoint a few people.....

Cheers

I think it might be sale for a while it belongs to a forum user here (Laurence), when it first came up for sale their was a couple of people after it including myself it was up for around £5k then, about two years ago. If you are interested I would contact him and give him and offer you never know he might say deal!!
