I'm glad you asked that question. As the keeper of the BJ8 Registry=0Asi=
nce 1998, I can report that the registry just entered its 9,564th=0Acar=
 yesterday, with one in Finland. That is exactly 54% of total BJ8=0Aprod=
uction (17,712). That also includes 75 cars that have definitely=0Abeen=
 confirmed as Scrapped. For the others, each one is a "snapshot"=0Ain ti=
me (i.e., at the time it was entered or the date of the record).=0AFor s=
ome of them, there is only a record of an owner in the 1970s (for=0Aexam=
