Title: How many fj's are left??
Post by: nurse on June 24, 2012, 03:19:17 PM
Found this website which was a bit of fun! I guess it is more use to those in uk, not sure how many uk users there are on here.

http://howmanyleft.co.uk/ (http://howmanyleft.co.uk/)

According to the website there are 41 taxed (and therefore on the road) fj1200's (no year or models available) and 19 on a SORN (statutory off road notification - in the back of the garage gathering dust in other words).

What is worrying is that the fj1200 abs is listed seperatly and it would appear there is only one left in the uk on the road.....?mine?  There are four others on a SORN! Not sure how accurate this website is?  God I feel a bit guilty about modding it now! Maybe Given its low milage i should have moth balled it as a museum piece or as some sort of collectors special!

I'd be amazed if that 41 +1 figure was correct.
Doc Hacker would starve.
Can you find out how many UK members of UKFJOC there are?  Even if you discount that number by 1/3, it'll be way more than the 42 the "how many are left" site.

That number seems very low to me as well.

In the U.S. there are around 1000 FJ1100s, about 2500 FJ1200s, plus fewer than 300 ABS models still on the road.

nurse asked, "Not sure how i could find that out other than emailing them?  do you think Doc is likley to share the info?"

I don't know.  He very well might either be proud of the size of his supporters club, or he could want to impress you with how many are already members.  Or not.  Only one way to find out.
