MCLAREN · MCLAREN ELVA · Cars
As of 2025 Q4, 10 MCLAREN ELVAs 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 2020 Q4. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (11.1%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the MCLAREN ELVA is rarer than 79% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
