HUMBER IMPERIAL Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 118 HUMBER IMPERIALs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 119 in 2025 Q4 — only 99% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve.

In all, the HUMBER IMPERIAL is rarer than 58% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.
