AUSTIN MORRIS PRINCESS Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 103 AUSTIN MORRIS PRINCESSs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 107 in 2024 Q3 — only 96% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 54% 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 AUSTIN MORRIS PRINCESS is rarer than 58% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.
