How many survived?

Members may be interested to see the supposed survival rate ( in the UK only ) of the models of Bristols. I don’t know how accurate these figures are. In any case, the numbers are only up until 2014 and only show cars registered with the DVLA. Not mentioned on this website is the fact that these numbers also do not take into account any cars which are neither taxed nor on SORN ( cars which were taken off the road and last taxed before 31 January 1998 do not have to have a SORN if not subsequently put back on the road. There might be a few ‘ barn finds ‘ in this category ). The 402 is not deemed worthy of an entry.

At the bottom left hand side of the page for some of the models is a review, for what it is worth. The review shows a specification sheet and also the numbers produced. Some reviews are combined e.g. 401 and 403, 412 and Beaufighter, 603 and Britannia.

The website also shows the survival rate of many other marques.
