HOW MANY ARIIC ARE LEFT?
There are 15 ARIIC left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 78 ARIIC that are currently SORNED.
The total number of ARIIC was highest during 2020 Q2 (161). The number taxed topped out in 2020 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.
Since the total peaked, some 68 (42%) ARIIC have been scrapped or exported.
During 2023 Q1 the number of ARIIC 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.
The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 68 ARIIC models. Taxed models have declined by 131 and the SORNed total has increased by 63.
84% of the remaining 93 ARIIC in the UK are currently off the road.
