HOW MANY VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE ARE LEFT?

There are 70 VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 85 VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE that are currently SORNED.

The total number of VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE was highest during 1994 Q4 (230). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 75 (33%) VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE 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 VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE has gained 17. Licensed models have fallen by 1 and the SORNed total has increased by 18.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 4 VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE models. Taxed models have declined by 8 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

55% of the remaining 155 VOLKSWAGEN GT BEETLE in the UK are currently off the road.
