HOW MANY BRA ARE LEFT?

There are 5 BRA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 8 BRA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BRA was highest during 2023 Q4 (15). The number taxed topped out in 2023 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 2 (13%) BRA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q3 the number of BRA 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 BRA has gained 4. Licensed models have fallen by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 3 BRA models. Taxed models have declined by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

62% of the remaining 13 BRA in the UK are currently off the road.
