HOW MANY FACTORY MODEL MISSING ARE LEFT?

There are 27 FACTORY MODEL MISSING left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 16 FACTORY MODEL MISSING that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more FACTORY MODEL MISSING, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2025 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

During 2012 Q3 the number of FACTORY MODEL MISSING 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 FACTORY MODEL MISSING has gained 35. Licensed models have increased by 23 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 31 FACTORY MODEL MISSING models. Taxed models have grown by 20 and the SORNed total has increased by 11.

63% of the surviving 43 FACTORY MODEL MISSING in the UK are still on the road.
