HOW MANY CPI SM 50 ARE LEFT?

There are 12 CPI SM 50 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 227 CPI SM 50 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of CPI SM 50 was highest during 2010 Q2 (382). The number taxed topped out in 2009 Q1 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2022 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 143 (37%) CPI SM 50 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q4 the number of CPI SM 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 SM 50 has fallen by 67. Licensed models have fallen by 114 and the SORNed total has increased by 47.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 34 CPI SM 50 models. Taxed models have declined by 21 and the SORNed total has fallen by 13.

95% of the remaining 239 CPI SM 50 in the UK are currently off the road.
