SANTANA PS10 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 11 SANTANA PS10s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 15 in 2021 Q2 — only 73% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (12.7% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2030 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the SANTANA PS10 is rarer than 78% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the PS10
The Land Rover Defender (introduced as the Land Rover One Ten, joined in 1984 by the Land Rover Ninety, plus the extra-length Land Rover One Two Seven in 1985) is a series of British off-road cars and pickup trucks. They have four-wheel drive, and were developed in the 1980s from the Land Rover series which was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Following the 1989 introduction of the Land Rover Discovery, "Land Rover" became the name of a broader marque, no longer the name of a specific model; thus, in 1990, Land Rover renamed them Defender 90, Defender 110 and Defender 130 respectively...
