HOW MANY SHENKE ARE LEFT?

There are 3 SHENKE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 75 SHENKE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SHENKE was highest during 2011 Q3 (128). The number taxed topped out in 2011 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 50 (39%) SHENKE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q4 the number of SHENKE 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 SHENKE has fallen by 23. Licensed models have fallen by 35 and the SORNed total has increased by 12.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 8 SHENKE models. Taxed models have declined by 0 and the SORNed total has fallen by 8.

96% of the remaining 78 SHENKE in the UK are currently off the road.
