HOW MANY APEX ARE LEFT?

There are 3 APEX left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 37 APEX that are currently SORNED.

The total number of APEX was highest during 2007 Q4 (52). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 12 (23%) APEX have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q3 the number of APEX that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of APEX has gained 6. Licensed models have increased by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 0 APEX models. Taxed models have grown by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

93% of the remaining 40 APEX in the UK are currently off the road.
