HOW MANY LEEWAY ARE LEFT?
There are 51 LEEWAY left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 85 LEEWAY that are currently SORNED.
The total number of LEEWAY was highest during 2023 Q3 (163). The number taxed topped out in 2021 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.
Since the total peaked, some 27 (17%) LEEWAY have been scrapped or exported.
During 2025 Q2 the number of LEEWAY 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.
The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 98 LEEWAY models. Taxed models have grown by 14 and the SORNed total has increased by 84.
63% of the remaining 136 LEEWAY in the UK are currently off the road.
