HOW MANY SANYANG ARE LEFT?

There are 1 SANYANG left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 34 SANYANG that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SANYANG was highest during 1999 Q4 (128). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 93 (73%) SANYANG have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q1 the number of SANYANG 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 SANYANG has fallen by 3. Licensed models have fallen by 11 and the SORNed total has increased by 8.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 3 SANYANG models. Taxed models have declined by 3 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

97% of the remaining 35 SANYANG in the UK are currently off the road.
