HOW MANY RENAULT 5 L ARE LEFT?

There are 3 RENAULT 5 L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3 RENAULT 5 L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of RENAULT 5 L was highest during 1994 Q4 (137). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 131 (96%) RENAULT 5 L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q3 the number of RENAULT 5 L 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.
