MITSUBISHI GALANT Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 780 MITSUBISHI GALANTs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 2,876 in 2014 Q3 — only 27% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2,096 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 46 a year (5.8% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2038 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 83% 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.

About the GALANT
The Mitsubishi Galant (Japanese: 三菱・ギャラン, Mitsubishi Gyaran) is an automobile which was produced by Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi from 1969 until 2012. The model name was derived from the French word galant, meaning "chivalrous". There have been nine distinct generations with total cumulative sales exceeding five million units. It began as a compact sedan, but over the course of its life evolved into a mid-size car. Initial production was based in Japan, with manufacturing later moved to other countries.
