HOW MANY BEDFORD 97 ARE LEFT?

There are 25 BEDFORD 97 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 98 BEDFORD 97 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BEDFORD 97 was highest during 1998 Q4 (1,158). The number taxed topped out in 1998 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,035 (89%) BEDFORD 97 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q1 the number of BEDFORD 97 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 BEDFORD 97 has fallen by 16. Licensed models have fallen by 33 and the SORNed total has increased by 17.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 5 BEDFORD 97 models. Taxed models have declined by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

80% of the remaining 123 BEDFORD 97 in the UK are currently off the road.
