OPEL GT Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 89 OPEL GTs 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 2014 Q3.

In all, the OPEL GT is rarer than 60% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
