At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 49 licensed and 95 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Lexmoto Riviera generic-model group.

Is the Riviera disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 212 in 2019 Q3 and stand at 49 in 2026 Q1, down 77%. That is down 73% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 95 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 144 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Lexmoto Riviera generic-model group as petrol.

Lexmoto Riviera first appears in the published DfT series in 2017 Q2. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Before you buy

• Ask why it was off the road — Of the 144 Riviera vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (95 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
• Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 77% from the 2019 Q3 peak of 212. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
• Check the actual Riviera — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
