Any idea how many Bermuda cars are left
I was just wondering if anyone has any idea how many of the Bermuda cars are still with us? I know a couple met their end but have no idea how many are left.

Out of the 15 tourers imported I think the following are no longer with us.
RK08 JNL (Black) RX08 JMX (White) and possibly RK08 JNJ (White) RK08 JKL (Odyssey Blue) |

I ran 9 numbers that I knew through the DVLA, although many recently used I could only see yours with an MOT.
Will check against my list I don't remember seeing the Odyssey Blue one, and I'm at least one short. |

She's mine now. Nice to meet Gary, a true gentleman, the car is such a credit to you, really impressed with how she drives. I will probably take her to East Kirkby with the wife's TF.

A batch were sent to Bermuda but didn't sell. They were reimported back into the UK.
