CITROEN D SAFARI Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 7 CITROEN D SAFARIs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 8 in 2018 Q1 — only 88% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (7.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2034 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the CITROEN D SAFARI is rarer than 81% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
