HOW MANY HONGYI ARE LEFT?

There are 4 HONGYI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 53 HONGYI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of HONGYI was highest during 2005 Q4 (221). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2010 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 164 (74%) HONGYI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q1 the number of HONGYI 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 HONGYI has fallen by 11. Licensed models have fallen by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 9.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 5 HONGYI models. Taxed models have declined by 5 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

93% of the remaining 57 HONGYI in the UK are currently off the road.
