Just thinking...

[optical illusion]

Was driving to Clonmel yesterday and was just thinking, how many FTO's do you reckon are in the republic?

[d_dan]

here was a post about this somewhere.

The 1.8 being the more rare at about 80-120
and I think 500 ish of the 2l

[steelroe]

Given that there are over 750 users on this site (i know all may not be owners) but I reckon 1500-2000 FTO's in the country.
Might be able to get some info from a Garda friend if I ask nicely!!!!

Last time I checked a few years ago, there was approx 350 DE3A's, I would imagine that has risen somewhat. Its conceivable that there are in the region of 5-600 hundred on Irish roads.

That raises another question;
From a ratio of population to FTOs, compared to other countries, would Ireland have the most FTO's? I know Japan and Oz obviously have more FTO's, but their populations are huge and ours is tweency.

Interesting...

Ask your garda friend!

Update - official figures have come in from a forum member. At this point in time, numbers work out at:

447 DE3A's
88 DE2As

Total 535 FTOs in the Republic of Ireland.

Good guess Dan, I wasn't far off myself!

[Wildhound]

Excellent guess!!

[Muad_dib77]

wow - that's mad I thought there'd be way more.

[Bernard]

Are they all on the road or is that just the total number of FTOs that have been registered?

[mcgon1979]

good info anonymous forum member who found out...

So this means only 55 pre facelift FTO in EIRE ?

Where did you get that figure from? DE2A and DE3A are the model numbers for the 1.8 and 2.0 FTOs. Doesn't matter if they're pre or post facelift.

[steelroe]

There are a lot more pre-facelift than facelift I would think.

+ another 1, the one I see in Bantry on UK plates all the time.

Reminds me of a quote in Carzone.. "Rare in Black, rare in manual". By that account, I must have an super-rare car, Black Manual GS!

[Sebastian]

wow.
be proud guys.
thats a low figure


you can say indeed the FTO is a rare car

[mcgon1979]

I reckon there is not too many manual GPvRs floating about either...
I do feel proud Seb! Imagine driving a DC4 Tegger Type R... Not to diss the Honda but you'd nearly get into the wrong car coming out of the shops there is that many of them...

[optical illusion]

Besides myself and yourself Mcgon, and that one on carzone, is there anyone else here that has a GPvR??

[Bernard]

Scroll up

Hint:

[optical illusion]

Oh darn Martin, didn't know, have you the vR stickers gone off it?

[Dragonheart]

She aint no version R, not the car anyway. Just a GPX.

[Bernard]

I was sure you had a vR.... shows what I know

[Dragonheart]

Looks the exact same all right, and the fact it has recaros I suppose 'cept their aftermarket and red not blue. Think the Vrs come with a front strut brace too do they? Mine has only one on the boot.
