How many Singer Chamois cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 196 licensed and 151 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Singer Chamois generic-model group.

Looking at a Chamois?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Chamois is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Chamois disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 198 in 2025 Q1 and stand at 196 in 2026 Q1, down 1%. That is up 4% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 151 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 347 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

DfT codes every vehicle in the Singer Chamois generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 347 Chamois vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (151 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Check the actual Chamois — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
