FIAT TEMPRA Rare

As of 2025 Q4, 114 FIAT TEMPRAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 173 in 2014 Q3 — only 66% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 59 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (0.9%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 96% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the FIAT TEMPRA is rarer than 57% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.

About the TEMPRA

The Fiat Tempra (Type 159) is a small family car manufactured in Italy by Fiat from 1990 to 1996, replacing the Fiat Regata. The original project was called Tipo 3, being a mid-size car between the Fiat Tipo (project Tipo 2) and the bigger Fiat Croma (project Tipo 4). The Tempra shared its Type Three platform with the Lancia Dedra and Alfa Romeo 155. The Tempra was named the 1991 Semperit Irish Car of the Year in Ireland. In Brazil, the Tempra was manufactured from 1991 to 1998. The car was also assembled in Turkey by Tofaş and in Vietnam by Mekong Auto in complete knock down until 2000.
