Electric Blue will be less then 200 based on the tracking people did before it got out of hand.

Still the fastest colour . . .

Let’s be real, it’s the best colour, see it coming from 100 yards

It's only the best colour when it has gold wheels

You would think so wouldn't you? I have had more near misses in mine per mile driven than any other car. The two worst were both taxi drivers just pulling straight out in front of me, I wasn't even going much above 30mph, thankfully! I have taken to leaving dipped mains on all the time now and still one of the taxi drivers couldn't see me from 30 yards!

I blew out the blue.

Why would anyone want to give the boys in blue an optical head start…

Everyone knows red is the fastest colour. And the best looking that why there all red in the adverts and brochures those Smurf cars are a distant second

That's still quite a small number.

Add I recall that compares to something like 7,000 GT86s.

For further comparison in the UK, Porsche sold 3,600 993s and Volkswagen sold 10,000 Corrados.

40 SORN - tucked away by collectors and/or some on dealers forecourts.

A lot of money to just be sat there to potentially only make a couple of grand on.
Certainly isn’t going to be doing them any good not being used.

 

[TigerJim]

Judging by the array of spares that have come up on eBay a grey one has been chalked off!

1481 GR86s on the road plus 24 SORN
Grand Total of 1505 registered in UK

So we can be sure that's the final total then?
1500 cars is still very rare in my book, great for those who care about residuals.

 

[skaben]

Not many at all, is it? 5% manual/auto ratio. When I’ve got the time, I’ll probably compare the figures to the comparison cars, MX5s/boxsters etc

Ok, I was bored so just did it for all Caymans 5583 autos, 7399 in total, 75% auto/manual ratio. I’m not reading into it too much as I know they are different cars/price points etc… but massively more sold and the the gearbox choice is interesting for the different “driving” platform

Grand Total of 1506 registered in UK
(one more GR86 than last report)

 

[Triggaaar]

So about 1/29,000 taxed cars are GR86s. Becoming a bit common for my liking.
