V88 mfs owner on here??

The problem with all this data is that you cannot rely on it's accuracy. According to the data from mg-rover.info there are only 715 MG ZT and ZTT, does that mean that there are 169 R 75 V8's? I know how frustrating it is having debates about whether SE's are rarer than non SE's but the accurate, definitive figures are not available. We know, for example that there are two cars with 007 as the last three digits of the VIN, we also know of another example of this duplication. I think the only thing we can be certain of is that no-one has accurate data.

Nich,

Totally agree that there are likely to be some discrepancies in the data. However when Les asked the question about which is scarcer I was also curious. Even allowing for discrepancies I think the data must be sufficient to show that SE's were the far more popular choice which answers the original question. This is also borne out by the cars that come up for sale now. For what it is worth the same site shows 165 Rover V8's.

Not that I intend to sell my basic spec car (very happy with it) , it is useful to have a rough idea of the number of similar cars out there if I ever do need to put it on the market.

At least 'scoubix' hasn't got that conundrum, owning the only (?) LHD ZT260 auto,

I'd be interested to know the LHD stats, RV8 and ZT260 and saloon/tourer. Theoretically if "our" access to database data is to the level of the whole VIN, the digit-nine should be "N" or higher for left hookers making that breakdown relatively easy (should be N or W). Do we have access to that, or only the wordy extraction if you check your own VIN? My job used to be data analysis and data mining if anyone could loan me the DB!

If you're talking about scarcity, try finding a lefty for sale!
