CITROEN C6 Rare
As of 2026 Q2, 509 CITROEN C6s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 773 in 2014 Q3 — only 66% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 264 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 25 a year (5.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2040 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 53% 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.

The C6 was inspired by the Citroën C6 Lignage prototype, which was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in the spring of 1999, but can be differentiated due to a few minor details (such as the lack of suicide doors, which were present in the concept model). The C6 was intended to serve as a replacement for the late Citroën XM, and...
