FIAT 131 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 9 FIAT 131s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 11 in 2016 Q4 — only 82% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (12.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the FIAT 131 is rarer than 79% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the 131
The Fiat 131 is a mid-size family car manufactured and marketed by Fiat from 1974 to 1984 after its debut at the 1974 Turin Motor Show. Available as a two-door and four-door saloon and 5-door estate across a single generation, the 131 succeeded the Fiat 124. The 131 was also marketed as the Fiat Mirafiori, after the Turin district where the cars were manufactured. Initially, the 131 was offered with 1.3 L and 1.6 L overhead valve engines and the range received revisions in 1978 and 1981. Production reached 1,513,800.
