LANCIA PRISMA Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 23 LANCIA PRISMAs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 29 in 2016 Q2 — only 79% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 6 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (3.5% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2045 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the LANCIA PRISMA is rarer than 73% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the PRISMA
The Lancia Prisma (Tipo 831) is a small family car built by Italian car manufacturer Lancia between 1983 and 1989. It was a saloon version of the first generation Lancia Delta hatchback, and like the Delta it was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Like the Delta it was also available as a 4x4 integrale version, although with a non-turbocharged engine and an air-locking rear differential.
