That is the DVLA data, it was a mahoosive spreadsheet, but some guy on the pistonheads website took it and put frontend on it and set up that website.
It is the number of Taxed vehicles, not the number still in existance - hence why the numbers go up and down across the years on the spreadsheet.

What's a 480 GLT and what does S/R as in 480 ES S/R stand for?

GLT doesn't exist
SR normally stand for Safety Restraints

What's a Safety Restraint?
Is that seatbelts?
I thought they all have seatbelts, I always assumed the S/R indicated a sunroof.

Re: how many 480's are left?
I think you're right. In the VIN there is a digit for the type of safety restraints a 480 is equipped with but here it makes no sense.
Sunroof seems more plausible, even though the electric one was called a moonroof instead

Re: how many 480's are left?
Why are the sunroof models listed separately? It's just an option. Why not list a/c models separately?
I think he mixed up S/R with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System -airbags).

Apparently Volvo came up with the S/R definition.http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/volvo/1403/What-does-the-SR-mean wrote: > SR???????

Got the following email from the DVLA. Now off to search the web for the
meaning. Being a Volvo 740 estate automatic, I doubt the S stands for sports
!! LOL
Thank you for your e-mail.
The Volvo company manufactures many different variants of the Volvo 740. Two
of these variants are the "Volvo 740 GL" and the "Volvo 740 GL S/R".
A Volvo dealer would be able to describe the difference between the two
variants, and exactly which one your vehicle is. Alternatively, many car
books and magazines would contain this information.
The "SR" is not generated by DVLA, and certainly does not mean
"Stolen/Recovered".
I hope this is helpful.

Re: how many 480's are left?
Because volvo class it as a body style. Like number of doors, Estate, or Saloon.Van wrote:Why are the sunroof models listed separately? It's just an option. Why not list a/c models separately?

Its definitely sunroof, when you choose a vehicle in VADIS it gets you to choose bodystyle -either _x_door S/R or _x_door W/O S/R.
The manual sunroof is an aftermarket option - these will not be listed as an S/R.
I'd get you a screenshot but Vadis tends to hang a lot on Win 7 for some reason....
