NISSAN 100 Rare
As of 2026 Q2, 363 NISSAN 100s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 731 in 2014 Q3 — only 50% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 368 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 12 a year (3.4% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2046 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 80% 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 100
The Nissan GT-R (Gran Turismo–Racing; model code: R35; Japanese: 日産・GT-R; Nissan GT-R) is a sports car, built by Japanese marque Nissan from 2007 to 2025.
