LOTUS 2 ELEVEN Ultra-rare

As of 2026 Q2, 51 LOTUS 2 ELEVENs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 54 in 2015 Q4 — only 94% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 3 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1 a year (1.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2079 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 75% 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. In all, the LOTUS 2 ELEVEN is rarer than 66% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

Survivors over time

How rare is it?

Genuinely rare — only 51 left on UK roads.

Rarer than 66% of the 2,315 UK car models we track.

📉 Rate of decline

Disappearing at about 1 a year (1.3% of survivors). At that pace roughly 48 would remain in 5 years, and half the current fleet is gone by around ~2079.

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.
