Thanks for that, Tom. A very comprehensive survey!

Fab piece of work
Looking at the engine pie chart, '2000 4v MPI' refers to the M-series ( 80 left ) and '2000 4v LTI' to the non-turbo T-series, of which there are 578, which exceeds the number of T-series turbos (505).
LTI stands for 'Long Tract Inlet' or 'Long Tract Induction' - nobody can remember which!

Worryingly, the drop in taxed cars from '21 to '23 is 19%
There is also an overall drop of 5%, which probably represents those scrapped

LTI is Long Track Injection according to the data in the EPC John.

This is even cleverer than I thought!
If you double-click a sector of a pie chart it filters the data on just that selection, so you can split 'Taxed' into 'Taxed bodystyles' very easily, for example
There's a few more hours gone

I’ve tracked a few cars in recent months that I know for a fact have been scrapped, but they are showing as SORN on the DVLA database.
I know the 214 SEi cannot specifically be derived from the VIN, but according to How Many Left there are only 88 214 SEi’s left on the road now! Remaining numbers have pretty much halved since 2019. It appears there were nearly 31,000 SEis on the road when numbers were at their peak.
There are only two SEis on the road that were registered in 1996 - mine is one of them, registered Feb 1996. Must be one of the last SEis produced. Wonder if I can find out how late?

Looks like my 416 GTi Auto is down to 25.
Amazing as I've never seen another one yet. They must be hiding somewhere
Amazing database.
Many Thanks

Of the 76 Tomcat Turbos taxed, 31 are blue - probably 30 Tahiti and 1 Nordic

I am not aware of any of the Nordic being taxed since the Tomcat affair at 30 and that is not a Turbo it is a 216
