DAIMLER DOUBLE SIX Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 756 DAIMLER DOUBLE SIXs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 769 in 2019 Q4 — only 98% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 13 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 11 (1.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 71% 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.
