Pub argument about C55 AMG sales

[trando]

Hi everyone:
Most of these went to the US, but does any one know - or know where to find out - how many C55 AMGs have been sold in the UK?

very few if you look at how few secondhand ones are available for sale

I have seen the info somewhere just cant remember where right now. The figure that springs to mind was about 12,000 C32's and 8,000 C55's. Think the UK had 1200 or so. I will see if i can find the official info as i have copied and pasted somehwhere safe cant remember where.

You can find out from DVLA how many are registered? You can get the info under the freedom of information act. There may be a small fee involved. A friend of mine contacted DVLA to find out how many Vauxhall Cavalier Turbo's where left on the road.

Knew i had saved it somewhere (courtesy of MBWorld) First figures are i believe US imports. Others are worldwide.

I am surprised more C55s made than C43s

Tudu - you are a star.... Think that's the argument won anyway.

Wanna take a guess at how many M3's there are.... i'd say x5 as much as the C55 worldwide....

Thats probably one of the main factors contributing to me never owning one, ever. Far too common, almost boring.

Tis true. There were thousands of M3's shipped worldwide, that's what makes AMG's so special.
