How Rare Ore The Cars In Your Fleet?
My little collection stands at 5 at the moment but will be culled by one before Christmas.... In order of quantity according to How Many Left (where possible)...
Fiat Panda 100 HP - there are currently 1267 left with an MOT. That's not as many as I thought so pretty rare?
Hawk HF 3000 - well, its not listed on How Many Left, but lets say there might be 150 in the UK? Lots in hiding I suspect? Maybe fewer?
Lancia Beta Coupe - Not clear on How Many Left and mine isn't one of them, not even SORN'd yet but it'll get back on the list sometime. Probably less than 50 in the UK now?
Alfa 159 Sportwagon Ti Q4 2.4 - generally accepted that there are 4 in the UK.
Then there's the Skoda. It's registered as a Sportline Plus 2.0 TSI 4x4 of which there are 654 according to How Many Left but that covers saloon and estate. Trouble is it's a "Scout" version. Which was never imported to the UK officially and is an Australian market car. So it's probably 1 of 1!
And it't the Alfa that is heading for pastures new soon. It's been a fantastic car for the last 10 years but it was just time for a change and something that's a little more comfortable for the monthly commute to Gerrys!

And here they are... Beta is in paint now so it's only the suspension and engine and tyres here at the moment!
Re: How Rare Ore The Cars In Your Fleet?
OK, mainly Sorn but some nice low numbers-
Alfa GT V6- 190 on the road, 127 Sorn. This was on the road until earlier this year when the ECU did Alfa GT ECU things.
Fiat Coupe 20v- 95 on the road, 285 Sorn. This is long term Sorn but the chassis is solid, the paintwork not so much so. 82k miles on the clock
Alfa Romeo 156 V6 Sportwagon, 4 on the road, 7 on Sorn. This is long term Sorn and definitely needs some new floor sections & a new key code. 62k miles at the last MOT.
Nissan X-trail T-spec- 274 on the road, 160 Sorn. Passed its MOT last week with just shy of 248k on the clock and only a couple of advisories.
Mercedes ML- 2573 on the road, 1082 Sorn. An excellent tow vehicle and family car but not really that rare although rapidly diminishing due to fuel costs & excessive road tax!
I'll stick at 5 declared!

Re: How Rare Ore The Cars In Your Fleet?
Didn't think I'd have much to offer here, but it seems my McLaren 600LT Spider is one of 330 made with less then 150 RHD examples. A rare(ish), modern Unicorn. Not particularly great mpg, not particularly great for towing, less than ideal as a family car or for taking the dogs to the beach and I'm told the luggage area could be bigger (some women are hard to please!!) but hey... it spits flames out of the bazooka exhaust things!!

Attachment 23210Circa 2500 made in total... ish (8v Kat) most in the bin now, mine is Bordeaux 167, don't think too many left in this color. Sadly the 8v Kats tend to run a bit lean due to silly ecu etc, I think this contributed to their low survival rate, shame as more fun than an evo & with sensible intervals for 8v belt changes & all the plus points of the 16v diff bias etc... bit boring compared to the Hawk though:)

Attachment 23211Nearly forgot, Jacobs other Beta in the middle, we only have four...:rolleyes: the fiat is a 16v n/a, I only seem to like the cars no one else wants!!!
Re: How Rare Ore The Cars In Your Fleet?
From what I can see/guess (how many left)
Beta 1600: 31 on the road, also 31 sorn. Think this is all 1.6 Beta's though?
Beta Spider 2.0: 54 on the road, 85 sorn.
integrale 8v Kat, my guess about six... max.
Coupe Fiat 16v n/a: 33 on the road, 113 sorn.
Hawk Stradale: CJ will know! my guess... six?
The Beta numbers are tragic when you consider 100thou Coupes made... ish & 9000 Spiders made, strange how things go.

Don't have anything rare really now except maybe the LB.
My Mondeo certainly isn't rare and neither is the V8 Vantage.
Used to have a rare Lotus. One of only 340 ever made (the green one). Only about 80 left in the UK now I think. The silver one was a SC Honda converted S2 Elise. Almost 400hp and 800kg, it was pretty rapid!
Both gone now.....
