CITROEN SAFARI Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 33 CITROEN SAFARIs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 34 in 2023 Q2 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars.

In all, the CITROEN SAFARI is rarer than 70% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
