According to the latest DVLA data, there are around 600 examples of the McLaren 720S taxed in Britain. Lamborghini Urus? That’d be 800. The number of Ferrari F430 variants is close to 1000. In other words, you’ve got more chance of seeing these exotic cars than many popular cars of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.

We’ve selected 40 classics you don’t see anymore, although it must be stressed that the DVLA data regarding surviving old cars is often unreliable. Use these figures, which are based on cars with a tax ‘disc’, as a rough guide.
