ALFA ROMEO SZ Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 65 ALFA ROMEO SZs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 67 in 2022 Q4 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 72% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the ALFA ROMEO SZ is rarer than 63% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
