LINCOLN TOWN CAR Rare

As of 2025 Q4, 209 LINCOLN TOWN CARs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 284 in 2014 Q3 — only 74% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 75 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 8 a year (4.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2042 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 72% 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 LINCOLN TOWN CAR is rarer than 51% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.

About the TOWN CAR

The Lincoln Town Car is a model line of full-size luxury sedans that was marketed and produced by the Lincoln division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company.
