Is the Street CUP disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 405 in 2021 Q2 and stand at 303 in 2026 Q1, down 25%. That is down 16% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 138 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 441 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 Triumph Street CUP generic-model group as petrol.

Triumph Street CUP first appears in the published DfT series in 2016 Q4. 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 441 Street CUP vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (138 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 25% from the 2021 Q2 peak of 405. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
• Check the actual Street CUP — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
