HOW MANY LHY M ARE LEFT?
There are 45 LHY M left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 143 LHY M that are currently SORNED.
The total number of LHY M in the UK was highest during 2023 Q2 (203). The number of taxed LHY M topped out in 2021 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.
Since the total peaked, some 15 (7%) LHY M have been scrapped or exported.
During 2023 Q2 the number of LHY M 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 151 LHY M models. Taxed models have grown by 14 and the SORNed total has increased by 137.
76% of the remaining 188 LHY M in the UK are currently off the road.
