HOW MANY COLT CELESTE ARE LEFT?

The total number of COLT CELESTE was highest during 1994 Q4 (372). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2010 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 351 (94%) COLT CELESTE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2009 Q1 the number of COLT CELESTE 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.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 0 COLT CELESTE models. Taxed models have grown by 4 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.
