HOW MANY YAMOTO ARE LEFT?

There are 3 YAMOTO left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 5 YAMOTO that are currently SORNED.

The total number of YAMOTO was highest during 2008 Q4 (16). The number taxed topped out in 2008 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2015 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 8 (50%) YAMOTO have been scrapped or exported.

During 2009 Q4 the number of YAMOTO 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 YAMOTO has fallen by 0. Licensed models have increased by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1 YAMOTO models. Taxed models have grown by 1 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

63% of the remaining 8 YAMOTO in the UK are currently off the road.
