HOW MANY DAIMLER 4.2 ARE LEFT?

There are 169 DAIMLER 4.2 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 219 DAIMLER 4.2 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of DAIMLER 4.2 was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,927). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,539 (80%) DAIMLER 4.2 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of DAIMLER 4.2 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 DAIMLER 4.2 has gained 27. Licensed models have increased by 25 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 4 DAIMLER 4.2 models. Taxed models have grown by 2 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

56% of the remaining 388 DAIMLER 4.2 in the UK are currently off the road.
