It's a good effort at consolidating the data, but would take that info/data with a lorry load of salt.

I think it depends on what the model is down as on the V5.

With the ZS, some 180's are on the V5 as just a MG ZS, Yet other 180's are actually registered as MG ZS 180 so it splits the figures.

Im guessing its the same with the Coupe? 220 Coupe, 216 Coupe, 218 Coupe and Coupe 220 Turbo are probably all under different lists of numbers left.

Yeah I don't think it's that inaccurate. Some cars will be registered wrongly and some may have dropped off the register for whatever reason. Realistically I doubt that there are many more than 400-500 coupe turbos left. Using ebay as a sample. Five years ago it was full of coupe turbos, now there is only two listed.

Most parts apart from engine/ecu are standard 800 items, the car was based on the 820Si with 827 front brakes. I did manage to secure one of the last available new old stock downpipes though.
