There are a number of companies that can supply data from the DVLA, they are listed on this page http://www.transportoffice.gov.uk/crt/otherbusinesses/saleofdata/vehiclecheckcompaniessaleofanonymiseddata.htm.

I contacted some of them by Email, and got the following replies:

Subject: RE: [Fwd: Vehicle Information] Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2008 11:43:38 -0000 From: Bell, Neil To: James Battersby Hi James The current DVLA database allows us to identify 473. Hope this helps. Kind Regards Neil

Subject: RE: [Fwd: Vehicle Information] Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2008 12:40:27 -0000 From: McCausland, Jon To: James Battersby James, There are 477 Triumph TR5 cars registered as on the road in the UK and another 23 registered as SORN. Regards, Jon

I attribute the slight difference in number to be due to them not having the same database. It is my understanding that the DVLA supplies a copy of the data rather than providing direct access to their database.
