With Turbo variants making up 18,000 of them!

And as such are still part of the original 750? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The Walky limos are mint, definatley not a waste of car! Illusiv one of our WA mods drives them so they sometimes come on cruises As for numbers left would have to do something like walkinshaw.net has, have a register I guess. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

it would have been better to start a thread saying how many vl's are left that are still able to drive (obv. not including half stripped, interiorless and on bricks) but still even then a number u might find out to be acurate, will be WAY off -Jason ( i wouldnt mind knowing tho)
