PORSCHE 968 Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 841 PORSCHE 968s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 861 in 2018 Q3 — only 98% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 20 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 10 (1.2%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 64% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the 968
The Porsche 968 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche AG from 1991 until 1995. It was the final evolution of a series of water-cooled front-engine rear wheel drive models that began almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the 924. It was intended to take over the entry-level position in the company lineup from the 944, which much of the vehicle was derived from. The 968 was Porsche's last new front-engined vehicle until the introduction of the Porsche Cayenne in 2003.
