HOW MANY SD ARE LEFT?

There are 19 SD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 22 SD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SD was highest during 1994 Q4 (599). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

Since the total peaked, some 558 (93%) SD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q2 the number of 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 SD has gained 6. Licensed models have fallen by 8 and the SORNed total has increased by 14.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 3 SD models. Taxed models have declined by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

54% of the remaining 41 SD in the UK are currently off the road.
