NISSAN FAIRLADY Rare

As of 2026 Q2, 109 NISSAN FAIRLADYs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 120 in 2023 Q4 — only 91% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 11 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 4 a year (3.2% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2047 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 61% 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 NISSAN FAIRLADY is rarer than 57% of the 2,315 UK car models we track.

Disappearing at about 4 a year (3.2% of survivors). At that pace roughly 92 would remain in 5 years, and half the current fleet is gone by around ~2047.

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.

The Nissan 370Z (known as the Fairlady Z Z34 in Japan) is a two-seater sports car which was made by Nissan from 2008 until 2020. Based on the Nissan FM platform, it has a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and either a two-door coupé or two-door roadster body style.
