PORSCHE CARRERA Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 1,907 PORSCHE CARRERAs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,916 in 2025 Q3 — only 100% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 9 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 20 (1.1%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 54% 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.
