AUDI 90 Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 549 AUDI 90s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 617 in 2014 Q3 — only 89% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 68 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 8 a year (1.4% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2075 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 81% 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.
