HOW MANY ROVER 3500 S ARE LEFT?

There are 185 ROVER 3500 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 124 ROVER 3500 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 3500 S was highest during 1994 Q4 (311). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 2 (1%) ROVER 3500 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q1 the number of ROVER 3500 S 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 S has gained 44. Licensed models have increased by 37 and the SORNed total has increased by 7.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 9 ROVER 3500 S models. Taxed models have grown by 22 and the SORNed total has fallen by 13.

60% of the surviving 309 ROVER 3500 S in the UK are still on the road.
