How many are left?

[EvoOne]

I was wondering the other day, firstly how many genuine early Evos would there be in the country and secondly, how many in the world?

Given there were only roughly 5,000 of each model 1,2 and 3 to start with, that the cars were extensively rallied/raced and even road versions driven hard in private hands, there must have been a high attrition rate. Lots were chopped up into half cuts in the 90s/00s too.

It also seems like they're getting rarer now given that its hard to justify the cost of repairing them compared to what they seem to be worth.

What do people think?

I have almost enough mechanical spares....so cant see a problem in repairing mine well into the future. I have my eye on another body to take care of any body damage as well

Its the same with any other popular car as they get older. The smart ones will stock up on spare parts when they become available for a cheap price
That is, if the owner can envisage that they will be holding onto the car for the next 10 years.
It'll be hard to guesstimate how many genuine EVO I-III's are in the country but I reckon possibly 200 max.
Probably half are in competition and the other half road registered or in storage. But thats just my number plucked from thin air. I wouldnt think the number would surpass 200.

I know of 4 evo ones and an evo 3 that are road registered here in perth. then two e3 that are club use cars

be great to make a website to register your car , and were its from with vin number , even if you wrecked one or half cut etc

 

[EvoOne]

We could almost do that on this website? Or has the MLR in the UK already started?

I'd say at least half of them have come to NZ to die. I live in a small rural town (Pop. <6000), and there's at least 3 or 4 here not including my own. The bigger cities are crawling with them, let alone the writeoffs over the past 15 years.

Used to see heaps of them on the streets in nz. Like everyone had an early Evo or Wrx sti. Haven't been home for bout a year now but not many tidy ones left. Lots broken by idiots with bleed valves and 1.5 bar of boost or totally riced and not worthy of an Evo badge used to be so easy for kids there to get big loans and really no vehicle restrictions with liscence. Hell I had a 400whp sw20 mr2 when I was 22. Imported from Japan like that it cost fuck all
