Ls400 numbers left

[Malc1]

I've just thought to check this out from the How Many Left website   Ls400s

 

2023 Qtr 4  it's 

Licensed    545  and    SORN  532

 

but even more shocked for the stats ( with my 2006 Honda Legend )  . 

this is for for ALL Honda Legends  produced and sold in the UK from about 1988

2023 Qtr 4 

Licensed just   20  and SORN 44

The wonderful car Honda made that no-one wanted to buy !

That site is terrible. It doesn't separate them by year of manufacture, rather by model "name" which is useless with the "Legend"
Plenty of both the 3rd Gen (95-06) (LEGEND AUTO) and the 4th Gen (05-12) (VTEC) still on the road if you look at this page on their site.

For the LS400 there are just 2 rows but still 300 more than you thought.

For the LS430, there are 1000 of us on the roads of the UK.

Ah so on the Honda Legend it’s 

Live 151. and. 324 Sorn  …. still tiny numbers of all ages 

 

the Lexus Ls400 

303 Live and Sorn 774   the same total as I mentioned above but mixed a bit differently …….. OR should we double the figures overall do you think 🤔 

Ls430s I’ll never understand …… far too modern for me 😂

200  x  ISF cars still alive and kickin', but only 64  x  IS 200t F sport autos?????? Err?

[Malc1]

Whatever, it’s an indication of a paucity of numbers !

You need to add the totals together. It may be that the LS400 is the 90-94 and the LS400 AUTO is 95-00.
So, total LS400s on the road is 303 + 545 = 848.

On the Honda Legend, that 151 is for the 96-05.
For your model (VTEC) it's 321 on the road in the UK.

Nope,     I'm advised they only sold 285 in the UK ..........  of my Mk1V from inception in 2006 to departure in 2012  🤔

and of this there'll be a few scrapped I'm sure

I went there on a weekend break a few years ago there was nothing much there of any interest.

You can see here the sales/registrations year by year (start in 2006), so either your adviser was wrong,  or this site is wrong.

And here are the figures for the KA9 96-06 Legend and since these start before 1996 they almost certainly include earlier models of the Legend.

Like I said, the site is really confusing w.r.t. the models. Far better to list them by year.

[Malc1]

Ah ok then. Thank you 

Maybe 530 max in 2014 …… about double my initial understanding  …… very few whatever

Road Tax upcoming end this month probably about £765 or so 🥵

I bought 6 months road tax and it still came to over £400. The car is being SORNed in December. This is the biggest danger - being priced off the roads by tax and insurance especially on low mileage "keepers". At least I am not paying the full price so their unfair tactic is coming back to bite them with less revenue than keeping the road tax fair or reasonable.

Gray, my road tax on each of the Ls400s is “ only “ £345 each for 12 months …… the Honda Legend road tax is dopey but she indoors really really much prefers driving the Legend …… maybe coz it’s underpowered at only 3.5ltr 😂
