RELIANT ROBIN Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 20 RELIANT ROBINs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 24 in 2023 Q2 — only 83% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 2 a year (8.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2033 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the RELIANT ROBIN is rarer than 74% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
