RENAULT CARAVELLE Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 57 RENAULT CARAVELLEs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 58 in 2025 Q1 — only 98% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. In all, the RENAULT CARAVELLE is rarer than 65% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the CARAVELLE
The Renault Caravelle is a sports car manufactured and marketed by Renault for model years 1958–1968 in a single generation — as a rear-engine, rear-drive, two/four-seater coupe or convertible designed by Pietro Frua of Carrozzeria Ghia, sharing its floorpan and engine with the Renault Dauphine. The Floride was presented at the 1958 Paris Motor Show and was launched in the United States and Canada as the Renault Caravelle a year after its introduction in Europe. Outside of North America and Britain it was, until 1962, marketed under the nameplate Renault Floride.
