VOLVO 363 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 12 VOLVO 363s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 22 in 2015 Q1 — only 55% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 10 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 2 a year (16.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2029 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the VOLVO 363 is rarer than 78% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the 363
The Volvo 300 Series is a rear-wheel-drive small family car sold from 1976 through 1991, both as a hatchback and (from 1984) as a conventional notchback saloon. It was launched in the Netherlands shortly after Volvo acquired a significant stake in the passenger car division of DAF in 1973. The series consisted of the Volvo 340 (previously 343/345) and the later Volvo 360.
