HOW MANY TALBOT SAMBA ARE LEFT?

There are 31 TALBOT SAMBA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 127 TALBOT SAMBA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of TALBOT SAMBA was highest during 1994 Q4 (24,129). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 23,971 (99%) TALBOT SAMBA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of TALBOT SAMBA 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 TALBOT SAMBA has gained 21. Licensed models have increased by 12 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 5 TALBOT SAMBA models. Taxed models have grown by 12 and the SORNed total has fallen by 7.

80% of the remaining 158 TALBOT SAMBA in the UK are currently off the road.
