HOW MANY MARCOS ARE LEFT?

There are 242 MARCOS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 237 MARCOS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of MARCOS was highest during 2024 Q4 (480). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1 (0%) MARCOS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q1 the number of MARCOS 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 MARCOS has gained 57. Licensed models have fallen by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 64.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 30 MARCOS models. Taxed models have grown by 31 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

51% of the surviving 479 MARCOS in the UK are still on the road.
