HYUNDAI 1200 Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 11 HYUNDAI 1200s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 12 in 2025 Q4 — only 92% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 8 (266.7%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the HYUNDAI 1200 is rarer than 78% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the 1200
The Hyundai Pony (Hangul: 현대 포니) is a small rear-wheel-drive automobile produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai from 1975 until 1990. The Pony was South Korea's first mass-produced and exported car. It was made in two-door coupé utility, three-door liftback, four-door saloon car, and five-door liftback or estate car body styles. The Pony nameplate remained in use until 2000 on some export versions of the Hyundai Excel and Accent.
