HOW MANY CHITUMA ARE LEFT?

There are 8 CHITUMA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 310 CHITUMA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of CHITUMA was highest during 2006 Q4 (1,017). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2008 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 699 (69%) CHITUMA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q3 the number of CHITUMA 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 CHITUMA has fallen by 43. Licensed models have fallen by 62 and the SORNed total has increased by 19.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 26 CHITUMA models. Taxed models have declined by 12 and the SORNed total has fallen by 14.

97% of the remaining 318 CHITUMA in the UK are currently off the road.
