HOW MANY SHINERAY ARE LEFT?

There are 38 SHINERAY left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,033 SHINERAY that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SHINERAY was highest during 2008 Q3 (1,900). The number taxed topped out in 2008 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 829 (44%) SHINERAY have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q1 the number of SHINERAY 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 SHINERAY has fallen by 210. Licensed models have fallen by 310 and the SORNed total has increased by 100.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 113 SHINERAY models. Taxed models have declined by 64 and the SORNed total has fallen by 49.

96% of the remaining 1,071 SHINERAY in the UK are currently off the road.
