RENAULT CARAVELLE Ultra-rare

That's down from a peak of 58 in 2025 Q1 — only 98% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (1.8%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the RENAULT CARAVELLE is rarer than 65% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the CARAVELLE
The Renault Caravelle is a sports car manufactured and marketed by Renault for model years 1958–1968 in a single generation — as a rear-engine, rear-drive, two/four-seater coupe or convertible designed by Pietro Frua of Carrozzeria Ghia, sharing its floorpan and engine with the Renault Dauphine. The Floride was presented at the 1958 Paris Motor Show and was launched in the United States and Canada as the Renault Caravelle a year after its introduction in Europe. Outside of North America and Britain it was, until 1962, marketed under the nameplate Renault Floride.
