RENAULT SPIDER Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 79 RENAULT SPIDERs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 80 in 2021 Q4 — only 99% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 1 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 3 (3.9%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 57% 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. In all, the RENAULT SPIDER is rarer than 61% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
