HOW MANY IBC ARE LEFT?

There are 4 IBC left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2 IBC that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more IBC, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2020 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

During 2024 Q4 the number of IBC 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 IBC has fallen by 0. Licensed models have fallen by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1 IBC models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

67% of the surviving 6 IBC in the UK are still on the road.
