MITSUBISHI L300 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 11 MITSUBISHI L300s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 18 in 2014 Q3 — only 61% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 7 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 MITSUBISHI L300 is rarer than 78% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
