ALFA ROMEO GTV Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 2,500 ALFA ROMEO GTVs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 3,510 in 2014 Q3 — only 71% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1,010 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 77 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, 66% 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.
