HOW MANY ROVER 45 GSI ARE LEFT?

There are 35 ROVER 45 GSI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 35 ROVER 45 GSI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 45 GSI was highest during 2006 Q4 (370). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2019 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 300 (81%) ROVER 45 GSI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q2 the number of ROVER 45 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 45 GSI has fallen by 248. Licensed models have fallen by 268 and the SORNed total has increased by 20.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 83 ROVER 45 GSI models. Taxed models have declined by 75 and the SORNed total has fallen by 8.

50% of the surviving 70 ROVER 45 GSI in the UK are still on the road.
