HOW MANY ROVER 3500 VPLAS ARE LEFT?

There are 16 ROVER 3500 VPLAS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 48 ROVER 3500 VPLAS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER 3500 VPLAS was highest during 1994 Q4 (567). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2022 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 503 (89%) ROVER 3500 VPLAS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of ROVER 3500 VPLAS 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 VPLAS has gained 5. Licensed models have increased by 6 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 ROVER 3500 VPLAS models. Taxed models have grown by 11 and the SORNed total has fallen by 9.

75% of the remaining 64 ROVER 3500 VPLAS in the UK are currently off the road.
