HOW MANY TVR CHIMAERA ARE LEFT?
There are 2,161 TVR CHIMAERA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,574 TVR CHIMAERA that are currently SORNED.
The total number of TVR CHIMAERA was highest during 2001 Q4 (4,224). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.
Since the total peaked, some 489 (12%) TVR CHIMAERA have been scrapped or exported.
During 2020 Q4 the number of TVR CHIMAERA 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 CHIMAERA has fallen by 8. Licensed models have fallen by 652 and the SORNed total has increased by 644.
The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 88 TVR CHIMAERA models. Taxed models have declined by 85 and the SORNed total has increased by 173.
58% of the surviving 3,735 TVR CHIMAERA in the UK are still on the road.
