CHRYSLER ALPINE Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 31 CHRYSLER ALPINEs 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.

In all, the CHRYSLER ALPINE is rarer than 70% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
