LANCIA Y10 Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 66 LANCIA Y10s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 67 in 2018 Q4 — only 99% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (1.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it.

In all, the LANCIA Y10 is rarer than 64% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
