CHRYSLER PT CRUISER Uncommon
As of 2026 Q2, 3,835 CHRYSLER PT CRUISERs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 17,838 in 2014 Q3 — only 21% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 14,003 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 595 a year (15.5% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2030 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 63% 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.
