There is a How Many Left site that you can track any vehicle type on but right now it's showing as a pricavy risk on both Chrome and Edge so I best not link to it

Looked at recently and only 18 Citroen Activa's left  sad32:

[boring list mode]  My complete list of my cars

1975 Ford Cortina Mark 1  - loved it when it would start, didn't last too long
1976 Ford Cortina Mark 2 - what a work horse once I'd sorted it
1981? Ford Cortina Mark 3 - brief stop gap, trashy
1981? Ford Cortina Mark 4 (company car) - very sound but dull
1983 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk 2 GL(company car) - ditto, first 1st hand car for me
1986 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 GLSi  (company car) - nice all round sporty saloon
1989? Citroen BX GTi (company car) - aircon at last, lovely car when its many flaws weren't showing
1992? Citroen BX 16V (company car, later mine) - again full of flaws but jeez did it go
1996 Citroen Xantia Activa - just amazing road handling but a bit gutless and thirsty, kept it nearly 11 years
2007 Mazda 3 MPS - bonkers fast and so easy to drive - kept it just over 10 years
2017 Merc AMG A45 - even more bonkers fast, very comfy, full of toys and well behaved when I am

We need to see Darwin's list.  I will be so disappointed if it doesn't feature a De Dion Bouton, Model T Ford and of course a Stanley Steamer.  And that's just the horseless carriages
