SKODA 136 Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 87 SKODA 136s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 92 in 2023 Q2 — only 95% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 5 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 2 a year (2.7% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2051 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 92% 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 SKODA 136 is rarer than 61% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
