Schempp-Hirth Ventus
Too daft to find the info via google, anybody have an idea how many Ventus cM, Ventus cT, and Ventus c Schempp-Hirth churned out, respectively? (Not the Ventus2, mind) Wiki thinks its a total of 613 with final ships being delivered 1994, but nowhere can I ascertain how many self-launchers/turbos were built. 
Any pointers? Thanks.

Thanks David.
I saw that page prior to posing my question, I asked nonetheless because I do not recognize the numbering system. E.g., one chosen at random: ''cT 99/354 D-KOSY'' does this mean that it is 99 of 354? Also, some appear to have two types per space, or does this just refer to the different spans achieved with 16,6, 17,6?

Thank you B4aeros.
That makes sense, should've twigged myself. That would make 613 Ventus built, of which 185 are sustainers and 110 self-launching, last produced 1994.
Happy landings, All!
