HOW MANY CCS ARE LEFT?

There are 1 CCS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 7 CCS that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more CCS, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2012 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

During 2009 Q3 the number of CCS 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 CCS has gained 3. Licensed models have fallen by 0 and the SORNed total has increased by 3.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 CCS models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

88% of the remaining 8 CCS in the UK are currently off the road.
