HOW MANY NECHT ARE LEFT?

There are 2 NECHT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 26 NECHT that are currently SORNED.

The total number of NECHT was highest during 2006 Q4 (164). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 136 (83%) NECHT have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q3 the number of NECHT 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 NECHT has fallen by 4. Licensed models have fallen by 11 and the SORNed total has increased by 7.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 6 NECHT models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

93% of the remaining 28 NECHT in the UK are currently off the road.
