The Opel Rekord is a large family car which was built in eight generations by the German car manufacturer Opel. Between 1953 and 1986, approximately ten million were sold. The Series D and E Rekords also spawned derivative versions manufactured by Opel's British sister company Vauxhall and in the case of the Rekord E, GM's Australian arm Holden. In 1986, the Rekord nameplate was replaced by the Opel Omega.
As of 2025 Q4, 63 OPEL REKORD were still registered in the UK — 30 licensed and on the road, plus 33 declared SORN (off-road). The figures come from official DVLA vehicle licensing data.
