Default UK Owners

Hello All

with the high numbers of UK GT4 cars advertised on Pistonheads, 27 at the last count, fot me wondering how many owners are actually driving and using there cars in the UK

I have read somewhere that there was only destined for the Uk, so that leaves 22 other owners who are maybe using there cars

Please reply so that we can see how many of us are actually driving and not just speculating

Cheers Dave

I have no idea what your post means, but with circa 400 UK cars, I would say 373 are driving them and the 27 for sale are selling them.

Hi MRd

Ah I see my post didn't make sense, I have now edited it to make sense

Where did you get the 500 figure from

everything I have read points to 50 - 100 cars in the UK

Over 400 UK...27/400+ is not that bad especially whilst there is a material margin...

(of course some still being delivered so the numbers on sale could go up more)

That email was sitting in my inbox for 1 week before I replied with the answer. Yes of course was my reply.

This was after hearing that they had all gone from all sources

So no colluding, just took my chance by enquiring about a different car, and got a result
