HOW MANY TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS ARE LEFT?

There are 195 TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 204 TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

During 2007 Q4 the number of TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS 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 SUNBEAM LOTUS has gained 109. Licensed models have increased by 96 and the SORNed total has increased by 13.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 55 TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS models. Taxed models have grown by 127 and the SORNed total has fallen by 72.

51% of the remaining 399 TALBOT SUNBEAM LOTUS in the UK are currently off the road.
