HOW MANY FMC ARE LEFT?

There are 0 FMC left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3 FMC that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FMC was highest during 2005 Q4 (36). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2012 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 33 (92%) FMC have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q2 the number of FMC 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 FMC has fallen by 5. Licensed models have fallen by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

100% of the remaining 3 FMC in the UK are currently off the road.
