1986 ROW RHD 928's: 541
15 sold in Hong Kong
350 sold in England
4 to British servicemen stationed in Germany
150 to Australia
3 to South Africa
19 to Singapore
The data are a little weird, tho- 359 of 541 are listed as M249 Automatics, and another 122 are listed as M251 Automatics, which are shorter geared for Switzerland, Australia, and Sweden. Finding it hard to believe that 481/541 (89%) of '86 RHD 928's were automatics, though I guess it's possible.
EDIT: PET sez 66 have G28.10 gearboxes, or 12%. So there's some inconsistency between the gearbox listing and the M-codes.
What else did you need to know?

He asked about 5.0L RoW 86's RHD ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
CountryCode GearboxCode Count(*)
C23 A28.11 120
C23 G28.10 30
All Australian, no other RHD countries got the 5.0L engine.
And sadly, yes Australia had/has stupid-high numbers of autos compared to manual.

Ah yes, my reading comprehension is weak tonight.
Learn something every day- I never realized that only the US, Japan, and Australia got the 5L motors in '86. And all the '86 Japanese cars (all 57 of them) are all LHD, and all are automatics. Guess I need to broaden my horizons a bit....

265 cars
214 in Germany
49 in Switzerland
2 in Autria
79 manuals (M28/45 engine)
186 automatics (M28/46 engine)
And I also know one of these engine ended into a Mercedes G-Class, used for the Paris-Dakar, to provide assistance to the 959s:

See post 95 abve.
Thats all the auto and manual ones - only 5.0L RHD 86 cars in the world are the aussie ones.
LOL, apologies - I'd meant it was my reading comprehension which failed - that comment replaced the message I wrote before I re-read the question :P

Can someone with admin rights edit #1 post? I'd like to get updated table from #80 into it. It would be great to have all latest data in first message.

Always nice to have a government statistics department that does produces this kind of detailed yearly information of car's on the road, info can be found from here for the German numbers of 928's on the road as per January 2013:

http://www.kba.de/cln_031/nn_191194/...2_2013_pdf.pdf
Page 103: 229 * GT, 602 * GTS
Page 104: 162 + 173 * S, 285 + 1518 + 1059 * S2, 473 + 463 * S4
Page 105: 240 * 928
Makes for a total of 3686 of 928's still registered in Germany on 01.01.2013
