Globally, I don't know.
In the UK there were around 500 factory Mk3 G40s, of which around 350 are still on the roads.

the DVLA said 350 last year, and a few have been written off this year! so less than 350!

I think it lists the spec it was originally registered as on the V5 form, ie mine is registered as Volkswagen Polo 'C', and would remain a 'C' even if I rammed a 7 litre V8 in there. So, if yours was converted at some point it'll probably be registered as a CL or one of the special editions.
