ROVER 2000 SERIES Uncommon
As of 2026 Q2, 2,142 ROVER 2000 SERIESs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 2,152 in 2026 Q1 — only 100% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 10 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 50% 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.
