Mindless Trivia

I was bored to tears at home so I did some digging for some nuggets of trivia.

Did you know?
  • When this car was new, in Finland it cost 1,1 million marks, or about 280 000 EUR, adjusted for inflation. In America the US model cost $145 000.
  • There were a total of about 28 900 560 SECs produced, of which about 17 700 were facelift models, of which about 5000 were 1989 model year, and about 3000 were Euro models like mine. My car, therefore, is one out of about 3000 like it.
  • There are about 285 560 SECs on the road in the UK, right now. That is across all model years and versions. Since the 90s, where the data starts, about 4% of 560 SECs have disappeared from the roads per year. Using that number as a basis for extrapolation, my car is currently 1 of about 9550 facelift 560 SECs left (1989-1991, US+EURO models).
