HOW MANY SMC SBN ARE LEFT?

There are 0 SMC SBN left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 2 SMC SBN that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SMC SBN was highest during 2003 Q4 (6). The number taxed topped out in 2003 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2010 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 4 (67%) SMC SBN have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of SMC SBN 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.

100% of the remaining 2 SMC SBN in the UK are currently off the road.
