HOW MANY NFM ARE LEFT?

There are 2 NFM left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 48 NFM that are currently SORNED.

The total number of NFM was highest during 2019 Q2 (60). The number taxed topped out in 2011 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2019 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 10 (17%) NFM have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q1 the number of NFM 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 NFM has gained 2. Licensed models have fallen by 22 and the SORNed total has increased by 24.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 7 NFM models. Taxed models have declined by 8 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

96% of the remaining 50 NFM in the UK are currently off the road.
