HOW MANY ROVER 3500 SD ARE LEFT?

There are 41 ROVER 3500 SD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 52 ROVER 3500 SD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 3500 SD was highest during 1994 Q4 (456). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 363 (80%) ROVER 3500 SD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of ROVER 3500 SD 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 SD has gained 20. Licensed models have increased by 19 and the SORNed total has increased by 1.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 9 ROVER 3500 SD models. Taxed models have grown by 14 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

56% of the remaining 93 ROVER 3500 SD in the UK are currently off the road.
