Hi David. 1,428.
Cliff, 1428? LOL! Actually you've got that backwards 8241 is the correct number!
David. Been asked b4! Apart from the apostrophe (why the apostrophe??) that previous thread has the exact same title.
The search button is your friend!

Make up your own mind. I would guess about 4000 to 5000.
Or, if you're talking 'originals', depending on definition, about 100ish.

Best guess. 2000 replicas produced along with the 115ish originals all types. About half on the road and completed or being run as track cars. This comes to about 2 per month completed since since 1965.
I bet there's that many Cobras in California.

Yes, exactly right, of the 130 or so originals made, less than 200 still exist (haha)....
Maybe this is just my sad analytical mind at work, but I feel this should be more acurately 'estimatable'.
Possibly by estimating the number by manufacturer/series (possibly not accouting for how many kits completed or not, how many destroyed etc):-
(Σ Σ Σ (Series_High - Series_Low)) +#One offs
M S
Where M=Make/'Manufacturer' (e.g. Original, ERA, GTD, CAV, SPF, KVA, DRB, Tornado, MDA!)
S=Series (e.g. prototype, J car, MkI, MkII etc)
Series_High/Series_Low=the highest & lowest known chassis/serial numbers in each series (or just replace by total number if known).
or by considering how many are known in each region as this may be easier to estimate/certain individuals may have a good idea how many are in their area, then summing up over larger areas:-
Σ Σ Σ Σ
K C R
Where K=Continent,
C=Country,
R=Region (State/County etc)
There's probably not really that many countries (e.g. USA, UK, Australia, South Africa, NZ, Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, Japan, Sweden) that would need estimating to get a pretty good idea of the total number, and the remainder would probably not make too much difference. e.g. if USA=2000±200 then unless the 'rest ot the world' (not listed above) is significantly more than 50 it wouldn't change things greatly.
How many GT40s are there in Africa outside of South Africa?
Just my geeky thought for the day! I'm now going to go and get a life!!
