How many Calis in 2008?

[andrew bazeley]

As time goes on, I'm beginning to think there aren't many Californias from that early on. I've seen a few from that year, and a couple from 2007 (one was actually registered in Germany). Is there any way I can find out how many Calis were actually sold/registered in the UK in 2008?

Yes, see this thread from a few days ago:

How many UK Calis?

I stumbled across the following site, where you can search car models and find out how many were registered with the DVLA (I.e. cumulative/ remaining) in prior years. Some interesting numbers as of 2019: 15x Cali 30 years special editions, of which 7 are 4motion 10x Grand Calis, of which only...

Doesn't go back to 2008 though. Maybe I should contact DVLA.

You can download the DVLA dataset. Not sure whether the published version goes back to 2008

If DVLA records don't go back that far, maybe I should try VW?

I'm here brother, although it's a 2006 LHD, imported by Deepcar in Sheffield. It must have landed just as the first RHDs arrived in the UK.

mine is 2008 and one with an almost identical licence plate (last letter different) was for sale on this site at some point. Be equally interesting to know how many are still in circulation

I've just contacted VW. Be a few days, but I'll let you know.
