HOW MANY ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE ARE LEFT?

There are 19 ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 22 ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE was highest during 2009 Q1 (368). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2019 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 327 (89%) ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q2 the number of ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE 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 45 CLASSIC SE has fallen by 219. Licensed models have fallen by 228 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 53 ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE models. Taxed models have declined by 49 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

54% of the remaining 41 ROVER 45 CLASSIC SE in the UK are currently off the road.
