Probably not far off, Steve, although there could be some LHD cars registered in the UK to muddy the waters, I suppose. Of the 118 RHD R75V8 saloons, 14 were not originally destined for the UK anyway (Malaysia, S. Africa, New Zealand etc.) which leaves 104 for the UK. Some of the 14 "non-UK" may never have made the intended destination, or been re-imported into the UK. On the other side of the coin, some RHD cars may be residing abroad in between times like EricLC's car! 2007 Q4 show about 90 total registered, and we know of a few that had not be registered at that stage, so about right-ish?Originally Posted by SCP440
If that is roughly OK, I suppose you could assume that current figures indicating around 70 R75V8 saloon cars still surviving in the UK, would be about right?

Looking at the same site they reckon there are about 300 ZT 260 of all types left in the UK, not a bad survival rate.

For the R75V8 Saloon that's 2/3 survival rate, and over 90% of the Tourers. which I guess may be 'better than average', whatever that is!. Then again, the car has a certain appeal that, dare I say it, something like a Marina or a Viva have not. MG ZT survival figures sound pretty healthy too, but still under 50%, much less so than the R75V8 by the sound of it.
