HOW MANY TORROT ARE LEFT?
There are 1 TORROT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 56 TORROT that are currently SORNED.
The total number of TORROT was highest during 2023 Q3 (68). The number taxed topped out in 2023 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q2.
Since the total peaked, some 11 (16%) TORROT have been scrapped or exported.
During 2021 Q1 the number of TORROT 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 13 TORROT models. Taxed models have declined by 37 and the SORNed total has increased by 50.
98% of the remaining 57 TORROT in the UK are currently off the road.
