HOW MANY FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS ARE LEFT?

There are 10 FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 15 FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2025 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

During 2012 Q1 the number of FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS 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 FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS has gained 13. Licensed models have increased by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 7.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 9 FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS models. Taxed models have grown by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

60% of the remaining 25 FANTIC MOTOR TRIALS in the UK are currently off the road.
