HOW MANY DATSUN 260Z ARE LEFT?

There are 95 DATSUN 260Z left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 82 DATSUN 260Z that are currently SORNED.

The total number of DATSUN 260Z was highest during 2023 Q1 (179). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 2 (1%) DATSUN 260Z have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of DATSUN 260Z 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 DATSUN 260Z has gained 61. Licensed models have increased by 40 and the SORNed total has increased by 21.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 9 DATSUN 260Z models. Taxed models have grown by 9 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

54% of the surviving 177 DATSUN 260Z in the UK are still on the road.
