HOW MANY SUMOTO ARE LEFT?

There are 4 SUMOTO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 39 SUMOTO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SUMOTO was highest during 2006 Q4 (112). The number taxed topped out in 2006 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2010 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 69 (62%) SUMOTO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2010 Q3 the number of SUMOTO 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 SUMOTO has fallen by 6. Licensed models have fallen by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 4 SUMOTO models. Taxed models have declined by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

91% of the remaining 43 SUMOTO in the UK are currently off the road.
