LIGIER AMBRA Ultra-rare

As of 2025 Q4, 74 LIGIER AMBRAs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 100 in 2014 Q3 — only 74% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 26 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 2 a year (2.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2050 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 99% 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 LIGIER AMBRA is rarer than 62% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
