HOW MANY DAIMLER SOVEREIGN 4.2 ARE LEFT?

There are 17 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN 4.2 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 15 DAIMLER SOVEREIGN 4.2 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of DAIMLER SOVEREIGN 4.2 was highest during 1994 Q4 (52). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 20 (38%) DAIMLER SOVEREIGN 4.2 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q4 the number of DAIMLER SOVEREIGN 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.
