HONDA LEGEND Rare

As of 2026 Q2, 832 HONDA LEGENDs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,641 in 2014 Q3 — only 51% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 809 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 54 a year (6.5% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2036 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 55% 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.

Disappearing at about 54 a year (6.5% of survivors). At that pace roughly 595 would remain in 5 years, and half the current fleet is gone by around ~2036.

A constant-rate projection from the last 3 years. The last survivors tend to linger far longer than this — cherished cars don't vanish on a fixed date.
