This post from Earl is an interesting one in more ways than one. I've already mentioned we are dealing with a series of anecdotal, inaccurate or just plain rounded off figures, and we don't have enough support documentation to verify what is real and what is estimated.
Just for starters let us assume and trust the World total SVX count is 24,379 units.
Now, making the following assumptions on Earl's breakdown figures:
USA..........
14,279 not including Canada
Japan........
5,951 assume exact and accurate for JDM
Europe......
2,478 assume includes Germany but possibly not UK. i.e. LHD only
[Germany].....[854] assume included with Europe [LHD]
Canada.........
942 assume not included with USA [similar model code different options]
Others..........
518 South America, Levant and Middle East, Thailand, maybe others
Total........
24,168 units.
This compared to a "known" World total of
24,379. The difference between these two figures is
211 units.
Now it might be obvious why I left the possibility that UK models [RHD] were not counted with European cars. We believe that native UK market SVXes are in the region of 250-270, very close to this figure.
Likewise the down Under [U code cars
] market figure is possibly round the 220 mark as well, so, is it possible their total is not included in the "Others" figure?
We do come nearer all the time to getting exact information.
