SUBARU GFT Ultra-rare

As of 2025 Q4, 3 SUBARU GFTs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads.

Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (50.0%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the SUBARU GFT is rarer than 87% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.
