OPEL COMMODORE Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 43 OPEL COMMODOREs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 1 (2.4%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the OPEL COMMODORE is rarer than 67% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the COMMODORE
The Opel Commodore is an executive car (E-segment) produced by Opel from 1967 to 1986. It is the six-cylinder variant of the Rekord with styling differences. The Commodore nameplate was used by Opel from 1967 to 1982 in Europe and to 1986 in South Africa. The Commodore nameplate was adopted by Holden in Australia, where it continued until 2020. The last generation was sold in the United Kingdom primarily as the Vauxhall Viceroy although Opel-badged models were also sold there, and the Chevrolet Commodore in South Africa from 1978 to 1982, when it was renamed the Opel Commodore.
