NISSAN FAIRLADY Rare

As of 2026 Q1, 108 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 90% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 12 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 3 a year (2.6% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2053 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 62% 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 59% of the 2,429 UK car models we track.

Disappearing at about 3 a year (2.6% of survivors). At that pace roughly 95 would remain in 5 years, and half the current fleet is gone by around ~2053.

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.

About the FAIRLADY

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. The 370Z is the sixth generation of the Nissan Z-car line, succeeding the 350Z and preceding the RZ34, which uses a modified version of the same platform. It was sold in North America for the 2009–2020 model years.
