It's a question that has been asked several times and DVLA and 'How Many' web site statistics include some C5's due to the way they are recorded on the V5 so were not accurate.

We now hopefully have some reasonably accurate figures. These are actual registrations by model and year, so don't include cars which are no longer available as we know of 1, 3.0 HDi and 2, 2.7 HDi that have been 'insurance write off's' and ended up in a breakers yard plus there are supposedly 2 cars that have been exported to Japan.

It also doesn't give any indication of actual build date and we know some cars stood around a while before they ended up on the road by comparing ORGA numbers and first registration date.







The surprising thing for me was the number of 'Base' (5) specification cars with 'Velour' and not part of full leather that made it to the UK.

There actually was one at ICCCR in Harrogate though it was difficult to get a good look at.

There is some detail we don't know, like how many cars were 'manual' and how many were 'automatic' gearbox, but I would hazard a guess at a high percentage are automatics.

Blimey. My first was a 2008, 2.2 Lignage. One of only 2 that year, and it was a manual ! A very rare car


Interestign Blip. 12 3.0 V6's registered this year. How many sold to customers and how many into the fleet at Slough ? (No Prizes for guessing what I'm thinking...)

Think that one is sold already as it was discussed at ICCCR and not pricey for a 2010 car which a lot of members lust after.........

Let's just say (for the moment) that Citroen UK still have a couple within their fleet

They certainly have the French Embassy one, and the one at the Manoir aux Quatre Saisons (Raymond Blanc). The former has or had been in one or two accidents, I believe.

There was also a silver one at ICCCR and I'm led to understand 3 were sold off very recently

I would dearly love a very late i.e. 2012 3.0 V6 so will keep an eye out for one - this would be in addition to Béatrice so if anyone hears anything on the grapevine, let me know.

Any figures that show the number of manual 2.2 cars? I seem to remember seeing 15 Lignage and 25 Exclusive somewhere. Mine is one of the latter, and with a registration date in the first week of January 2007, must be one of the first 2.2 cars.
