HOW MANY TVR 280 S ARE LEFT?

There are 89 TVR 280 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 191 TVR 280 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of TVR 280 S was highest during 1995 Q4 (361). The number taxed topped out in 1995 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 81 (22%) TVR 280 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of TVR 280 S 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 TVR 280 S has fallen by 6. Licensed models have fallen by 36 and the SORNed total has increased by 30.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 7 TVR 280 S models. Taxed models have declined by 3 and the SORNed total has increased by 10.

68% of the remaining 280 TVR 280 S in the UK are currently off the road.
