ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 90 ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHEs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 91 in 2025 Q2 — only 99% 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. 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. In all, the ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE is rarer than 61% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
