SIMCA 1301 Ultra-rare

That's down from a peak of 7 in 2017 Q2 — only 86% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the SIMCA 1301 is rarer than 83% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
