ALFA ROMEO 145 Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 345 ALFA ROMEO 145s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 592 in 2014 Q3 — only 58% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 247 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 11 a year (3.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2048 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 84% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
