Just looking at production figures of the long door trads from 1997 is illuminating. All "approximate" figures..
4/4......4,550
Plus 4.......2,150
Plus 8 to 2004..... 1,260
Roadster from 2004........2.300
Aero Plus 8 2012-2019 ....356
Aero 2001-2019............1,040
Draw your own conclusions. The factory survived on these numbers though!
