HOW MANY SWM RS 500 ARE LEFT?

There are 15 SWM RS 500 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 15 SWM RS 500 that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more SWM RS 500, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 2021 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.

During 2023 Q4 the number of SWM RS 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.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1 SWM RS 500 models. Taxed models have declined by 8 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

50% of the surviving 30 SWM RS 500 in the UK are still on the road.
