    How many

    Hi there,

    Last month I was lucky enough to buy a beautiful Silver S70R auto, subtle modifications, lovely in every way.

    I checked the howmanyleft website, and found there are a total of less than 70 S70R's still licensed in the uk, 28 being automatics.

    What interest me is that in the years they were made, according to the same site, there were never more than 59 manuals registered on the road at any given time, and only 41 automatics, a nice round 100!!!

    Were they really only produced in such small numbers (100???) for the UK Market - or any other Market come to that?

    Thanks in advance for any shared info that anybody has on this.

    Cheers, Andy

    How many left

    I will check out the link, but cannot find a site that tells me how many auto or manual S70R's were introduced into the uk. It seems a tribute to them - where you get performance, modifications, fast driving and all the down sides that go with them - that they are holding their numbers pretty much rock steady after so many years!!!

    North America didn't get any manual R's at all, they were all autos.

    What spares are you after?surly between v70r and s70 t5's you can sort something out.

    I have a black manual one. It's got beige interior though which isn't ideal!
