Hi Guys,

May have been discussed before, but just trying to quickly find out how many genuine C2 2.7 were produced in the UK and if we know how many are still on the road / registered.

I have no 0312, and need to justify ( Insurance issue ) why I would not use this as a daily. I currently only do max around 800miles a year .

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Cheers Simon and others for the replies.

Would a statement saying that they are very exclusive and quite rare these days, and an appreciating classic, be a true reflection.

Cheers,

Why would you need to justify why you don't use it? Surely the fact it's a 20+ year old car is reason enough?

Can`t say at the moment due to an insurance claim, but will elaborate once all over so can share the unfortunate expirence with others.
