HOW MANY ROVER 420 SLI ARE LEFT?

There are 15 ROVER 420 SLI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 75 ROVER 420 SLI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 420 SLI was highest during 1999 Q4 (11,493). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 11,403 (99%) ROVER 420 SLI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q3 the number of ROVER 420 SLI 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 SLI has fallen by 177. Licensed models have fallen by 148 and the SORNed total has fallen by 29.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 23 ROVER 420 SLI models. Taxed models have declined by 16 and the SORNed total has fallen by 7.

83% of the remaining 90 ROVER 420 SLI in the UK are currently off the road.
