750 Walky's were built and NO ONE knows how many are left... how would anyone know how many Calais Turbo's are left

The numbers I have seen indicate around 140,000 VL's in total. With Turbo variants making up 18,000 of them!

pretty sure no matter what happened to them, whether they went to the moon, the bottom of the ocean, around a tree, kept in mint condition or turned into a limo, it doesn't change the fact they were built in the first place? And as such are still part of the original 750?

You have to remember that these were built a few years back when Walky�s weren't as sort after as they are now. I doubt anyone would mess around that much with an original these days

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.

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
