HOW MANY OPTARE EXCEL L1150 ARE LEFT?

There are 9 OPTARE EXCEL L1150 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 31 OPTARE EXCEL L1150 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of OPTARE EXCEL L1150 was highest during 2001 Q4 (310). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2016 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 270 (87%) OPTARE EXCEL L1150 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q1 the number of OPTARE EXCEL L1150 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 OPTARE EXCEL L1150 has fallen by 53. Licensed models have fallen by 43 and the SORNed total has fallen by 10.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 19 OPTARE EXCEL L1150 models. Taxed models have declined by 4 and the SORNed total has fallen by 15.

78% of the remaining 40 OPTARE EXCEL L1150 in the UK are currently off the road.
