HOW MANY LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8 ARE LEFT?

There are 43 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 266 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8 was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,793). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 1,484 (83%) LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q2 the number of LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8 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.
