Monaros back in production?

[ArnieVXR]

Looking at the data on the 'how many left website', I see that an additional 17 CV8s and 20 VXRs appeared on the road in 2015. I thought the numbers included SORNed cars, which can only mean Vauxhall started making them again

Or the data is a little misleading...

Model Variant	2015	2014	2013	2012	2011	2010	2009	2008	2007	2006	2005	2004
Monaro CV8	293	276	281	290	307	304	319	332	335	311	251	133
Monaro VXR	301	281	286	299	338	354	359	363	370	285	155	51

Interesting to see that CV8s have almost always been rarer than VXRs.

Also interesting to see that between 2011 and 2012 we apparently 'lost' over fifty cars. That's like one a week!

The Sorn is a separate field in the table, but between 2014 and 2015 Q3 (the last comparable year on year data field), there are 1 less each of licensed and Sorn'd CV8's, so no from 2014 to 2015 we lost 2 CV8's

Interestingly, as you mentioned, from Q3 2014 to Q3 2015, the number of Ro VXR's cumilatively licensed and Sorn'd increased by 5!!!

Presumably if one's tax expires but you don't declare it SORN, then you disappear off the table until it's registered one way or the other?

This may account for the oddities?

332 CV8s vs 354 VXRs

Actually, those numbers don't look right, going back to 2007, there's only ever been 723. Now there are 686 which means we've lost 37 in the past decade?
