HYUNDAI · HYUNDAI 1200 · Cars
As of 2025 Q4, 12 HYUNDAI 1200s 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. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 9 (300.0%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the HYUNDAI 1200 is rarer than 78% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
Genuinely rare — only 12 left on UK roads.

The Hyundai Pony (Hangul: 현대 포니) is a small rear-wheel-drive automobile produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai from 1975 until 1990. The Pony was South Korea's first mass-produced and exported car. It was made in two-door coupé utility, three-door liftback, four-door saloon car, and five-door liftback or estate car body styles. The Pony nameplate remained in use until 2000 on some export versions of the Hyundai Excel and Accent.
