HOW MANY TALBOT SUNBEAM LS ARE LEFT?

There are 33 TALBOT SUNBEAM LS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 59 TALBOT SUNBEAM LS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of TALBOT SUNBEAM LS was highest during 1994 Q4 (2,954). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,862 (97%) TALBOT SUNBEAM LS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of TALBOT SUNBEAM 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 SUNBEAM LS has gained 18. Licensed models have increased by 18 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 5 TALBOT SUNBEAM LS models. Taxed models have grown by 24 and the SORNed total has fallen by 19.

64% of the remaining 92 TALBOT SUNBEAM LS in the UK are currently off the road.
