HOW MANY SAN ARE LEFT?

There are 0 SAN left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2 SAN that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SAN was highest during 2012 Q4 (6). The number taxed topped out in 2012 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 4 (67%) SAN have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of SAN 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 SAN has fallen by 2. Licensed models have fallen by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

100% of the remaining 2 SAN in the UK are currently off the road.
