How rare is it?

Rarer than 59% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.

📉 Rate of decline

Disappearing at about 2 a year (1.8% of survivors). At that pace roughly 91 would remain in 5 years, and half the current fleet is gone by around ~2063.

A constant-rate projection from the last 3 years. The last survivors tend to linger far longer than this — cherished cars don't vanish on a fixed date.

About the MARBELLA

The SEAT Marbella (codenamed 141A) was a badge-engineered Fiat Panda produced by SEAT from 1980 to 1986 (initially called the SEAT Panda), in the company's Landaben plant in the Spanish city of Pamplona (from February 1980 until 29 April 1983, when its production ended in that plant) and also in the Zona Franca plant in Barcelona. After the break in the partnership between SEAT and Fiat, the former's model was restyled and renamed SEAT Marbella. The Marbella was the last SEAT car ever made based on a FIAT model.
