Is there a way to calculate how many 355's are lost to accident/fire/flood per year?

Is this a public data set anywhere? I'm trying to get a rough handle on the rate of shrinkage of the total number of 355's and if it is changing over time as a fraction of the total set of cars in that year.

 

I suppose a corrolary is how many are in accidents each year - so - what is the rate of shrinkage of accident-free examples as a percentage of the fleet over time?

 

As long as I'm on a roll talking to myself - more interesting data would be what percent of the fleet is painted each year and what percent of the "previously until this year was treated as museum piece" portion of the fleet gets sold to someone who actually puts a lot of miles on the car. That's some non-zero number. So - if looking at the 355 fleet purely from a collector's perspective - if you sum up the annual total losses, accidents, paint jobs and transition-from-collector-item-to-daily-driver-miles-accumulating-vehicle - I just wonder what it is as a percentage of the fleet as a whole and if that rate of change is itself changing. It's probably lower than many vehicles given that Ferrari owners tend to baby their cars as a group vs a lot of other vehicle owners. Still - I'm curious. I wonder if say - a 5% annual total portion is too high an estimate? It might be if the fleet only drives an average of 1000 miles per year. Does annual (total losses + paint jobs + accidents + transition-to-daily-driver) / total fleet size >= 5% sound wildly overestimated? If so - what's your estimate and why?

 

Oh that is a small number.
