JENSEN S-V8 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 24 JENSEN S-V8s 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 2019 Q2 — only 92% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the JENSEN S-V8 is rarer than 72% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
