JAGUAR S TYPE Common
As of 2026 Q1, 16,483 JAGUAR S TYPEs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 48,361 in 2014 Q3 — only 34% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 31,878 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1,987 a year (12.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2031 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 55% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
