HOW MANY TALBOT SAMBA LS ARE LEFT?

There are 8 TALBOT SAMBA LS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 16 TALBOT SAMBA LS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of TALBOT SAMBA LS was highest during 1994 Q4 (8,116). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2022 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 8,092 (100%) TALBOT SAMBA LS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of TALBOT SAMBA LS 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 LS has gained 3. Licensed models have increased by 4 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 1 TALBOT SAMBA LS models. Taxed models have grown by 4 and the SORNed total has fallen by 5.

67% of the remaining 24 TALBOT SAMBA LS in the UK are currently off the road.
