HOW MANY ROVER METRO NIGHTFIRE ARE LEFT?

There are 13 ROVER METRO NIGHTFIRE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 53 ROVER METRO NIGHTFIRE that are currently SORNED.

During 2016 Q1 the number of ROVER METRO NIGHTFIRE 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.
