COLT GALANT Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 24 COLT GALANTs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 26 in 2023 Q4 — only 92% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (2.6% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2052 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the COLT GALANT is rarer than 72% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the GALANT
The Mitsubishi Galant (Japanese: 三菱・ギャラン, Mitsubishi Gyaran) is an automobile which was produced by Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi from 1969 until 2012. The model name was derived from the French word galant, meaning "chivalrous". There have been nine distinct generations with total cumulative sales exceeding five million units. It began as a compact sedan, but over the course of its life evolved into a mid-size car. Initial production was based in Japan, with manufacturing later moved to other countries.
