TALBOT HORIZON Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 104 TALBOT HORIZONs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 110 in 2014 Q3 — only 95% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 6 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 3 (3.0%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it.

In all, the TALBOT HORIZON is rarer than 58% of the 2,408 UK car models we track.
