HOW MANY BRANSON ARE LEFT?

There are 17 BRANSON left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 142 BRANSON that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BRANSON was highest during 2012 Q4 (281). The number taxed topped out in 2012 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2021 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 122 (43%) BRANSON have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q4 the number of BRANSON 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 BRANSON has fallen by 50. Licensed models have fallen by 72 and the SORNed total has increased by 22.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 15 BRANSON models. Taxed models have declined by 12 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

89% of the remaining 159 BRANSON in the UK are currently off the road.
