HOW MANY TVR 290 ARE LEFT?

There are 248 TVR 290 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 347 TVR 290 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of TVR 290 was highest during 1994 Q4 (713). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 118 (17%) TVR 290 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q4 the number of TVR 290 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 290 has fallen by 9. Licensed models have fallen by 88 and the SORNed total has increased by 79.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 12 TVR 290 models. Taxed models have grown by 12 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

58% of the remaining 595 TVR 290 in the UK are currently off the road.
