HOW MANY NECO BT 49 ARE LEFT?

There are 2 NECO BT 49 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 29 NECO BT 49 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of NECO BT 49 was highest during 2017 Q1 (59). The number taxed topped out in 2016 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 28 (47%) NECO BT 49 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q2 the number of NECO BT 49 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.
