PANTHER SOLO Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 8 PANTHER SOLOs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 9 in 2017 Q1 — only 89% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 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 PANTHER SOLO is rarer than 80% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the SOLO
The Panther Solo is a mid-engined sports car that was made by the British company Panther Car Company. It was available as a two-seat coupé, with the option of additional rear seats to make it a 2+2. SsangYong Motor Company, which had become the owner of Panther Westwinds, made a concept car called the SsangYong Solo 3 as a tribute to the original Solo and Solo 2, as well as a racing version called the SsangYong Solo Le Mans, a retooled WR LM94.
