HOW MANY ROVER 420 I ARE LEFT?

There are 1 ROVER 420 I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 32 ROVER 420 I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 420 I was highest during 2000 Q4 (4,409). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4,376 (99%) ROVER 420 I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q1 the number of ROVER 420 I 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 I has fallen by 107. Licensed models have fallen by 84 and the SORNed total has fallen by 23.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 20 ROVER 420 I models. Taxed models have declined by 9 and the SORNed total has fallen by 11.

97% of the remaining 33 ROVER 420 I in the UK are currently off the road.
