FIAT REGATA Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 20 FIAT REGATAs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 22 in 2022 Q3 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (4.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2043 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the FIAT REGATA is rarer than 75% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the REGATA
The Fiat Regata is an automobile produced by Italian automaker Fiat from 1983 until 1990. The Regata name was used for the sedan and station wagon versions of the Fiat Ritmo hatchback, corresponding to the post-facelift Ritmo. The Regata was offered with a choice of three petrol and two diesel engines, although Fiat's Argentinean operations installed other engines from later Fiat models as production there continued until 1995. Spanish builder SEAT created a similar saloon car from Ritmo underpinnings called the SEAT Málaga, but development of the two cars was carried out separately.
