ASTON MARTIN DB2/4 Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 57 ASTON MARTIN DB2/4s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 61 in 2024 Q1 — only 93% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 4 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 40% 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. In all, the ASTON MARTIN DB2/4 is rarer than 65% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
