    Default SR mk 1 (How many left) updated

    Licensed SR MK 1
    I have compiled some details some facts regarding LICENSED MK1 NOVA SR’s which I hope you find interesting
    It is something of an update of my previous (“109”) thread on this matter which I started two years ago out of curiousity and resulted in a number of very interesting replies and me compiling a list of some of the remaining SR’s. Thankfully as numbers fall the job of tracking the few remaining SR’S left becomes manageable. It has only really possible with internet to find vehicles – lots of Information from PNG/ facebook/ Ebay………. etc……….. etc.
    The history - - Original Models
    Mk 1 1.3 (launched April 1983
    - 1.4 (Launched October 1989)
    Mk 2 1.4 (Launched November 1990)
    With a very small number of exceptions All 1983 – 1989 inclusive were supplied as 1.3 and all 1990 are 1.4
    Recent DVLA figures (1.3/1.4)
    - December 2012 75 /24
    - December 2011 97 /33
    - December 2010 130/37
    In the absence of any other figures I will quote these figures. Over recent years licensed vehicles are falling are annually at around 10% to 20% pa
    Total SR figures (ie Mk 1 and mk 2 ) published each quarter but do not provide the split by year (which the December only figures do)
    There are a number of vehicles that are not included in the above but well be roadworthy
    1 SORN (December will always be the lowest month for licenced cars because of winter)
    2 Unlicensed for a number of reasons, including
    - Pre SORN requirements
    - Pre certificate of destruction requirements
    - Late license renewals
    - Cars in Northern Ireland
    - Cars held by trade (resale/ scrap) temporarily

    SR’s Licensed in the last 2 years
    I know the registrations of at least 99
    Of these a number have been scrapped but only 37 are currently licensed (and about 15 off the road as SORN over the winter) Many have been scrapped in the last two years.
    At any date not all will be licensed – I estimate that these 99 account for 50% of the vehicles that were licensed at 31/12/12 (ie 50% registrations found and 50% of registrations I have not found)
    Now many very different specifications (very few can be said to be original).
    - Some are total rebuilds
    - Many have rally or track modifications
    - Many are not recognisable as SR’s (makes finding more difficult)
    The cars located is significantly distorted by the vehicles for sale (which is the main source of information) but of the 99 found as licensed over 505 have been for sale in the last 2 years – many for sale several times.
    Mileages on cars range generally range from 70K -120K but there are a couple with significantly less.
    Colours as registered (all cars not just licensed)
    Red 31%
    White 29%
    Blue 12%
    Yellow 9%
    Grey 7%
    Silver 7%
    Black 3%
    Other 2%
    There has been only a very small number of project cars back on the road despite the best intentions of many.

    A few more facts on the 99 that I have registrations that have been licensed in the last two years
    (I would guess 50% of the total that SR’s licensed during this period )
    With at least 53 of the 99 having been for sale at least once in last two years there is quite a lot of information as current condition.
    Many are modified (to various degrees) – with at least 20 now have larger engines
    Current status as of 31/12/2013 (original specification 1.3 /1.4)
    Currently Licensed 31/6
    Currently Sorn 30/12
    Currently Unlicensed 7/4
    No longer listed at DVLA
    Cars in NI 2/0
    Destroyed in fire 1/0
    Other 5/1
    Totals 76/23
    Split by colour
    White 25
    Red 31
    Blue 15
    Other 28
    TOTAL 99
    Regarding the 37 currently licensed
    Split by year
    1984 1
    1985 3
    1986 1
    1987 3
    1988 12
    1989 11
    1990 6
    Total 37
    Regarding the 42 currently SORN
    16 can be regarded as summer cars (hopefully will come back on the road in 2014)
    7 may be summer cars
    20 off the road for other reasons (many in a very poor state when taken off the road / projects)
    42 in total
    Nova SR 1.4

    My first thought is that your reply was said in jest or at least bait to (Alex's) question .......... where is the E reg SR last seen in Scotland.

    I know of 7 SR's E reg on sorn but I do not think your SR is my list. There are many more that are on SORN that I do not have details of, especially later E reg (1988)
