HOW MANY DATSUN 260 ARE LEFT?

There are 155 DATSUN 260 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 144 DATSUN 260 that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more DATSUN 260, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q4.

During 2007 Q4 the number of DATSUN 260 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 260 has gained 102. Licensed models have increased by 73 and the SORNed total has increased by 29.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 20 DATSUN 260 models. Taxed models have grown by 23 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

52% of the surviving 299 DATSUN 260 in the UK are still on the road.
