Rare Entries meets Counting!

[GuyBarry]

While we're waiting for Rhys1995 to come up with the results of the last quiz, here's a slightly different twist on the Rare Entries format, based on the current counting game thread. For each question, all you have to do is find a number in the range 433-928 whose entry in the thread refers to:

(1) a model of car
(2) a flight number (factual or fictional)
(3) a work of literature
(4) a distance
(5) a sum of money
(6) an official form
(7) an astronomical fact
(8) a mathematical fact about the digits of the number (in base 10)
(9) a historical event that took place between AD 1000 and AD 1900
(10) a road number that is not currently in use in the United Kingdom

Usual Rare Entries rules and scoring apply. If a number has more than one entry in the thread, only the first will be considered. All non-counting posts in the thread should be ignored. Any number whose entry has been edited after the time of this post will be disallowed.

Answers to me by PM before 10am 8th December please. I promise to read them all and post the results shortly afterwards!

Just over 48 hours left to go, and I've had no entries yet. Is this one too difficult?

I think it requires too much work. People like the Rare Entry quizzes to be relatively easy to research. This one involves a lot of forum-browsing.

[GuyBarry]

True, but the forum search facility helps you with several of the questions. I didn't want to make them too easy - after all, the answers are all in the same place!
