Top 10 new cars SORN-ed in the UK
If you look purely at new models, the SORN list becomes seriously interesting and a little bit weird. With one or two exceptions, looking at new models subject to SORN shines a light on what’s likely to enter a collection, which is a completely different kind of barn.
- Audi e-tron – 1
- VW T-Cross – 1
- BMW X7 – 2
- Rolls Royce Cullinan – 2
- McLaren 600LT – 3
- Lamborghini Urus – 4
- Peugeot Rifter – 5
- Alpine A110 – 6
- McLaren Senna – 7
- Ferrari 812 Superfast – 9
The majority of cars on this list are supercars, be they traditional sports cars or the new breed of SUV supercar. However, it’s interesting to see the Alpine A110 on the list with six having been bought and then immediately stored.
Audi’s e-tron is an odd one to see on this list, similarly the VW T-Cross. Maybe someone out there collects new VW Group models?
However, in the rarest 10 new models, there are six Peugeot Rifters SORN-ed. As good as the Rifter is, I doubt it’s a collectable and that we’ll be discovering them as barn-finds in 20-plus years. This is much more likely to be on the SORN list while it is off road being converted to take a wheelchair or have accessories added. We’ll have to wait and see if these reappear on the road when the next DVLA SORN list comes out…
