HOW MANY SMC CG 500 ARE LEFT?

There are 112 SMC CG 500 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 199 SMC CG 500 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SMC CG 500 was highest during 2017 Q3 (398). The number taxed topped out in 2017 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 87 (22%) SMC CG 500 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q1 the number of SMC CG 500 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 SMC CG 500 has gained 19. Licensed models have fallen by 128 and the SORNed total has increased by 147.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 45 SMC CG 500 models. Taxed models have declined by 105 and the SORNed total has increased by 60.

64% of the remaining 311 SMC CG 500 in the UK are currently off the road.
