HOW MANY ROVER SD1 ARE LEFT?

There are 1,490 ROVER SD1 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,516 ROVER SD1 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of ROVER SD1 was highest during 1994 Q4 (11,176). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 8,170 (73%) ROVER SD1 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of ROVER SD1 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 SD1 has gained 392. Licensed models have increased by 274 and the SORNed total has increased by 118.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 158 ROVER SD1 models. Taxed models have grown by 187 and the SORNed total has fallen by 29.

50% of the remaining 3,006 ROVER SD1 in the UK are currently off the road.
