VAUXHALL VICEROY Ultra-rare

As of 2025 Q4, 23 VAUXHALL VICEROYs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (9.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the VAUXHALL VICEROY is rarer than 73% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the VICEROY

The Vauxhall Carlton is a series of large family car/executive car sold in two distinct generations by the Vauxhall division of GM Europe between 1978 and 1994. The Carlton was based on the Opel Rekord E (Mk.1) and Omega A (Mk.2). With the exception of the pre-facelift Mk.1 cars, most Carltons were manufactured by Opel in Rüsselsheim, and differed only from their Opel Rekord/Omega sisters in badging and trim. It was replaced by the Omega B in 1994, mirroring the standardisation of model names across both GM Europe brands.
