FIAT TEMPRA Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 113 FIAT TEMPRAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 173 in 2014 Q3 — only 65% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 60 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (1.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2095 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 96% 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. In all, the FIAT TEMPRA is rarer than 58% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.

About the TEMPRA
The Fiat Tempra (Type 159) is a small family car manufactured in Italy by Fiat from 1990 to 1996, replacing the Fiat Regata. The original project was called Tipo 3, being a mid-size car between the Fiat Tipo (project Tipo 2) and the bigger Fiat Croma (project Tipo 4). The Tempra shared its Type Three platform with the Lancia Dedra and Alfa Romeo 155. The Tempra was named the 1991 Semperit Irish Car of the Year in Ireland. In Brazil, the Tempra was manufactured from 1991 to 1998. The car was also assembled in Turkey by Tofaş and in Vietnam by Mekong Auto in complete knock down until 2000.
