CITROEN SAFARI Ultra-rare

As of 2025 Q4, 34 CITROEN SAFARIs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the CITROEN SAFARI is rarer than 69% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
