HONDA CR500R Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 4 HONDA CR500Rs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 21 in 2015 Q1 — only 19% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 17 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (14.0% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2031 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the HONDA CR500R is rarer than 85% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
