RENAULT 20 Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 22 RENAULT 20s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 45 in 2014 Q3 — only 49% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 23 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 0 a year (1.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2062 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. In all, the RENAULT 20 is rarer than 74% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
