CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 2,921 CHRYSLER CROSSFIREs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 3,983 in 2014 Q3 — only 73% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1,062 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 120 a year (4.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2043 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 49% 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.

About the CROSSFIRE
The Chrysler Crossfire is a rear-wheel drive, two-seat sports car, marketed by Chrysler and manufactured in Germany by Karmann across the 2004 to 2008 model years. Developed during the period Chrysler and Daimler-Benz were merged, known as DaimlerChrysler, the two-seater uses the Mercedes-Benz R170 platform and shares 80% of its components with the first generation SLK. Beginning in 2001 as a concept car styled by Eric Stoddard, the Crossfire was further refined by Andrew Dyson before production started in 2003 for the 2004 model year sales.
