Here's the official definition of SORN for those of us not in the UK.
https://www.gov.uk/make-a-sorn
"Tell DVLA you're taking your vehicle off the road, for example if you're keeping it in a garage. This is sometimes called a 'Statutory Off Road Notification' (SORN)."

Whoa. Roughly 1/4 of the available vehicles not being driven. A real shame.

I can't help but wonder how much the market price of the 1M is being propped up by artificial supply and demand constraints. The fact the 1M was declared, and arguably accepted, as a future classic so quickly after release could really mess with future prices once people start dusting off 3,000 "barn finds"...
