HOW MANY SIMSON S51B ARE LEFT?

There are 1 SIMSON S51B left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2 SIMSON S51B that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more SIMSON S51B, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2021 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

During 2020 Q1 the number of SIMSON S51B 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.

67% of the remaining 3 SIMSON S51B in the UK are currently off the road.
