Not a bad video but a few niggles about gear selection and road speeds.
IF they were doing 80 mph(?) they would be lucky to get 22.8 mpg!
They should have to press the brake pedal to select gear initially.
Otherwise I enjoyed watching it.
Thought there was more than 137 registered in UK.
We have 3 in Hull!

There will be more than 137.

This question came up a few years ago. It all depends on what vehicle he looked up and what importers and owners have registered the vehicle as being called with the DVLA.
Plus of course what they have them registered with via their insurance companies. Just think how many times owners have looked them up online with insurers, to be told there is no such vehicle on their Database.

If you look at the howmanyleft site the 137 figure can be found, and they are mostly L400s as far as I can see.
https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/family/mitsubishi_mitsubishi_delica?make=mitsubishi

Check the manufacture years
https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/family/mitsubishi_mitsubishi_delica?make=mitsubishi#!manufacture

and there is zero for 1988 - so mine's not there, but the V5 only has make and nothing for type or model :-) and Motorcaravan for body type, when I bought it it said Estate.

It's not even in the model missing list

Also most insurance databases think mine is a GLX, but the VIN says it's an Exceed. bah!

One way to fool AI is to refuse to be categorised!

hmmm
Having some involvement with farming I always thought AI meant artificial insemination, though I guess that produces similar intelligence, judging by recent news articles on the BBC.  scratch

Yep. As it looked like they were quoting speeds from the dashboard (not the phone), I left a comment on the video, asking if the speedo had been converted to MPH. I'm pretty sure a journey that length at 70+ would kill my L300. It seems likely to me they were actually KPH speeds.
