OPEL MONZA Rare

As of 2026 Q2, 295 OPEL MONZAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight 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 10 (3.5%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 69% 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.
