So, the question is, just how many Sevens do ACTUALLY survive? Just a thought… but impossible to know, or even guess.
If they are for sale, send them in, Bob! They are in absolute public domain and are fair game for listing, even if just on body type and plate.
The register can't help but get to absolute figures as all the cars go eventually through a sales cycle as a result of people lasting less long than cars!
There is a projection for the Nippies and 65s from 10 years back on the aus7in.wordpress.com site but I agree with Colin - in many cases they seem to still be in one piece somewhere and survival could be 60% or so by the time lost/re-identified chassis come back into the list of plausible originals. Likewise Ulsters - although these seem more able to be hidden over long periods of time, generationally.
