HOW MANY ROVER 800 SERIES ARE LEFT?

There are 249 ROVER 800 SERIES left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,368 ROVER 800 SERIES that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 800 SERIES was highest during 1996 Q4 (129,870). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 128,253 (99%) ROVER 800 SERIES have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q1 the number of ROVER 800 SERIES 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 800 SERIES has fallen by 851. Licensed models have fallen by 792 and the SORNed total has fallen by 59.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 288 ROVER 800 SERIES models. Taxed models have declined by 159 and the SORNed total has fallen by 129.

85% of the remaining 1,617 ROVER 800 SERIES in the UK are currently off the road.
