DAIMLER EAGLE Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 50 DAIMLER EAGLEs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 55 in 2014 Q4 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 5 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (1.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2087 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the DAIMLER EAGLE is rarer than 66% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
