HOW MANY ROVER 420 GSI ARE LEFT?

There are 19 ROVER 420 GSI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 137 ROVER 420 GSI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 420 GSI was highest during 1999 Q4 (12,781). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 12,625 (99%) ROVER 420 GSI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q3 the number of ROVER 420 GSI 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 ROVER 420 GSI has fallen by 261. Licensed models have fallen by 235 and the SORNed total has fallen by 26.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 52 ROVER 420 GSI models. Taxed models have declined by 32 and the SORNed total has fallen by 20.

88% of the remaining 156 ROVER 420 GSI in the UK are currently off the road.
