Rover SD1: how many are still registered?

3,010still registered

Rover SD1 cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 15 recorded variants.

One car drawn per 10 on the road - there are too many left to draw one each. Pick variants on the left to colour them in.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Rover SD1 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.
