HOW MANY HONLEY ARE LEFT?

There are 70 HONLEY left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 227 HONLEY that are currently SORNED.

The total number of HONLEY was highest during 2017 Q4 (471). The number taxed topped out in 2016 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 174 (37%) HONLEY have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q1 the number of HONLEY 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 HONLEY has gained 5. Licensed models have fallen by 208 and the SORNed total has increased by 213.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 104 HONLEY models. Taxed models have declined by 150 and the SORNed total has increased by 46.

76% of the remaining 297 HONLEY in the UK are currently off the road.
