HOW MANY BETA ARK ARE LEFT?

There are 3 BETA ARK left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 10 BETA ARK that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BETA ARK was highest during 2002 Q4 (78). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 65 (83%) BETA ARK have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of BETA ARK 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 BETA ARK has fallen by 4. Licensed models have increased by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 6.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2 BETA ARK models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

77% of the remaining 13 BETA ARK in the UK are currently off the road.
