HOW MANY LOTUS ECLAT ARE LEFT?

There are 383 LOTUS ECLAT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 719 LOTUS ECLAT that are currently SORNED.

The total number of LOTUS ECLAT was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,391). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 289 (21%) LOTUS ECLAT have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of LOTUS ECLAT 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 LOTUS ECLAT has gained 78. Licensed models have increased by 19 and the SORNed total has increased by 59.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 36 LOTUS ECLAT models. Taxed models have grown by 75 and the SORNed total has fallen by 39.

65% of the remaining 1,102 LOTUS ECLAT in the UK are currently off the road.
