The 60 versions there have been most of. 85 smaller ones are not shown.

What the numbers mean

  • On the road means licensed: taxed, or exempt from tax, at the end of June 2026.
  • Off the road means declared SORN: still registered but not used on public roads, often stored, being restored or waiting to be sold.
  • Counts are for Great Britain and come from the DVLA. Records start in 1994, so older cars may have been more common before then.

Buying one?

Rare or not, check the one in front of you: its MOT history, mileage and tax are free, and the full check adds finance, write-off and theft.
