HOW MANY DAIMLER SOVEREIGN ARE LEFT?

There are 485 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 513 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN that are currently SORNED.

The total number of DAIMLER SOVEREIGN was highest during 1994 Q4 (3,510). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,512 (72%) DAIMLER SOVEREIGN have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of DAIMLER SOVEREIGN 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 SOVEREIGN has gained 118. Licensed models have increased by 118 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 33 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN models. Taxed models have grown by 40 and the SORNed total has fallen by 7.

51% of the remaining 998 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN in the UK are currently off the road.
