HOW MANY ROVER 45 SPIRIT ARE LEFT?

There are 27 ROVER 45 SPIRIT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 45 ROVER 45 SPIRIT that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 45 SPIRIT was highest during 2004 Q4 (1,193). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 1,121 (94%) ROVER 45 SPIRIT have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q1 the number of ROVER 45 SPIRIT 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 SPIRIT has fallen by 489. Licensed models have fallen by 501 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 78 ROVER 45 SPIRIT models. Taxed models have declined by 70 and the SORNed total has fallen by 8.

63% of the remaining 72 ROVER 45 SPIRIT in the UK are currently off the road.
