Does anyone know how many LJs are left in the UK? Here in Germany I have been told that 166 are still registered.

Just curious..

Take a look at the below link, it shows all cars registered with the DVLA (UK's motoring) both Sorn'd and on the road!

That is taxed and on the road.

There are another 51 that have registration documents and are off the road, there will be others that are hiding without any documents as well but I bet the majority of the SORN LJ80s are almost beyond repair.

This is really sad. It makes parts crazy hard to get. But, it makes our cars more unique and perhaps more valuable. Some LJs have been going for crazy money in Germany.

Do you know how many are left in Holland? They seem to have a vibrant community there.

I think there's a few around in Holland, seem to be quite a few members on lj10.com with them I think.

I have 3 lj80s in the workshop, well 1 complete one, 75% of one and not much of another. Unfortunately they just rusted away in the UK, or got completely thrashed to death offroad.
