Question diesel VS petrol

It's incredible to see how successful was diesel appetite in France...

I was looking at some statistics regarding the 75 sold in France in 1999, same year as mine:

- Rover 75 V6 2.5 ________________________ 244
- Rover 75 V6 2.0 ________________________ 184
- Rover 75 1.8 ___________________________ 148
- Rover 75 2.0 Cdt _______________________ 1233

Amazing!

And only 488 Rover 75 V6 2.5 sold in France from 1999 to 2005, i.e. Rover sold as many V6 2.5 in one year - 1999 - only as in a period of 5 years - from 2000 to 2055. Easy to explain.
But not that many V6, and how many now on our roads?
Unfortunately here in France we can't have all these statistics that are so easy to find out in the UK.

Hence I'm looking for V6 value 'remontada'...

Any idea about the diesel / petrol balance in the UK?
