I was looking at www.howmanyareleft.co.uk and was very surprised to find that my 1970 series 2a 88'' Station wagon is one of only five left on the road with another two on sorn.

As a series owner I was really interested to see that, but think I will pass on opening another iffy link.

My Dad had an Alvis, and later a Standard 10. According to that website there are none left!

no land rover series 1's left either 
have to find the v5 see what it is described as
not sure how meaningful the data is there seems to be thousands each year with the model description as "missing" looks like more of the same pointless government statistics

Don't Panic! This doesn't mean the DVLA thinks your car doesn't exist.
Your car will usually be listed under the make and model recorded on its V5 document.
"If the model on the V5 doesn't show up here, your car will be counted under a 'Missing' model name. This tends to happen mostly to:
• Really low-volume cars (lots of supercars and kit cars)
• Imported cars that don't have a UK-equivalent model
• Cars registered before 1972 "
quote from the site, aren't they saying their figures are bollocks for older vehicles?

They obviously don't have the details of all makes and models but the info that the do have is quite interesting.

perhaps but if so many don't have sufficient info on the v5 you can't really be sure yours is one of five left on the road, if out of all the many thousands of info missing ones a couple of hundred might be like yours.
If only a few had missing info the figures might be meaningful but with missing info seemingly the rule not the exception how can one draw any conclusions from it
