PORSCHE CARRERA Uncommon
As of 2026 Q2, 1,916 PORSCHE CARRERAs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3.

Tellingly, 43% 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.
