Roll call

Postby darrenbiggs » Fri Jul 26, 2013 4:26 pm

Just been looking at the numbers on How Many Left:

http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=%E2% ... enault+gta

So with that in mind there are a lot of people who have dropped off the site over the past year or so, so how about a quick roll call of who's got what and in what state it's in?

So starting off, 1 GTA (owned for ooooh 15 years) all running and MOT'd. Currently on SORN for the next week as I couldn't see the point of losing 1mnths worth of road tax just to get 1 week of July. I'll be off to the Post Office tomorrow I guess for a 1st Aug start date.

Good chance also to hear from the likes of Tony (project DD, TT, R8), Roops (Le Mans a like), El Pres, Faulks (F50) everyone else. AlpineRob for example? Where are they now?

Same story for us "lard ball" owners too
http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=&#10 ... nault+A610
25 A610....there must be lots on Sorn and in barns if we got 19 at one event in 2011.....
That means about 50 gone in 5 years for all these cars except lemans 'cos there have only been 5 for ages.....
These is something smelly about these numbers.
This looks better....

Yeah I think there is an issue with GTA / A610 in that I think some will have been assigned to different names, Alpine, Renault Alpine, Alpine Renault etc plus then there's the non-SORNED 'lost' cars. There's a fair few of these I reckon hiding in garages under wraps, but then how many will live again.

It doesn't help numbers when you get these sorts of t%ssers cutting them up! :oops:

Don't read too much into them though as there are a lot of GTA's tucked away that have been off the road before SORN was even made live.

I do know from Mr Phildini's efforts that there are only 4 confirmed 610 write offs, probably about 6 have been exported which leaves around 50 ish left in the country somewhere. HML has it on 43 inc on the road and sorn so I guess that's almost there...

Oh and for the record A610 NYD (Now B16 MVS) now back on the road (well almost) after being off the road for 6 years.

Ah yes, mine is also SORN'd at present and almost roadworthy - hopefully by the end of August with Croix beckoning!

Got to hope haven't you!
