HOW MANY CSR ARE LEFT?

There are 3 CSR left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 17 CSR that are currently SORNED.

The total number of CSR was highest during 2009 Q2 (45). The number taxed topped out in 2009 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 25 (56%) CSR have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of CSR 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 CSR has fallen by 8. Licensed models have fallen by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 3 CSR models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

85% of the remaining 20 CSR in the UK are currently off the road.
