HOW MANY ROVER 3500 BASE ARE LEFT?

There are 4 ROVER 3500 BASE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 9 ROVER 3500 BASE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 3500 BASE was highest during 1994 Q4 (137). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2012 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 124 (91%) ROVER 3500 BASE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of ROVER 3500 BASE 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 3500 BASE has fallen by 1. Licensed models have fallen by 0 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 ROVER 3500 BASE models. Taxed models have grown by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 2.

69% of the remaining 13 ROVER 3500 BASE in the UK are currently off the road.
