HOW MANY HIMO ARE LEFT?

There are 3 HIMO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 101 HIMO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of HIMO was highest during 2007 Q4 (251). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 147 (59%) HIMO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q3 the number of HIMO 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 HIMO has fallen by 18. Licensed models have fallen by 15 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 7 HIMO models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

97% of the remaining 104 HIMO in the UK are currently off the road.
