HOW MANY RHON ARE LEFT?

There are 26 RHON left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 136 RHON that are currently SORNED.

The total number of RHON was highest during 2017 Q2 (184). The number taxed topped out in 2017 Q1 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 22 (12%) RHON have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q3 the number of RHON 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 RHON has gained 73. Licensed models have fallen by 45 and the SORNed total has increased by 118.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 5 RHON models. Taxed models have declined by 35 and the SORNed total has increased by 30.

84% of the remaining 162 RHON in the UK are currently off the road.
