FIAT BARCHETTA Rare
As of 2026 Q2, 818 FIAT BARCHETTAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 926 in 2014 Q3 — only 88% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 108 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 3 (0.4%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 65% 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.
