PORSCHE CARRERA Uncommon
As of 2025 Q4, 1,910 PORSCHE CARRERAs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,916 in 2025 Q3 — only 100% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 6 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 27 (1.4%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 54% 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.
