HOW MANY NSU RO80 ARE LEFT?

There are 50 NSU RO80 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 39 NSU RO80 that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more NSU RO80, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2013 Q4.

During 2009 Q1 the number of NSU RO80 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 NSU RO80 has gained 15. Licensed models have increased by 18 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 5 NSU RO80 models. Taxed models have grown by 8 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

56% of the surviving 89 NSU RO80 in the UK are still on the road.
