HOW MANY CPI FORMULA R 50 ARE LEFT?

There are 4 CPI FORMULA R 50 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 131 CPI FORMULA R 50 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of CPI FORMULA R 50 was highest during 2010 Q1 (258). The number taxed topped out in 2009 Q1 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 123 (48%) CPI FORMULA R 50 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q1 the number of CPI FORMULA R 50 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 CPI FORMULA R 50 has fallen by 108. Licensed models have fallen by 137 and the SORNed total has increased by 29.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 35 CPI FORMULA R 50 models. Taxed models have declined by 15 and the SORNed total has fallen by 20.

97% of the remaining 135 CPI FORMULA R 50 in the UK are currently off the road.
