TOYOTA LUCIDA Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 84 TOYOTA LUCIDAs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 449 in 2014 Q3 — only 19% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 365 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 11 a year (13.5% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2031 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 94% 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 TOYOTA LUCIDA is rarer than 61% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.

About the LUCIDA
The Toyota Previa, also known as the Toyota Estima (Japanese: トヨタ・エスティマ, Hepburn: Toyota Esutima) in Japan, and Toyota Tarago in Australia, is a minivan that was produced by Toyota from 1990 until October 2019 across three generations. The Previa was the second largest minivan in Toyota's lineup in Japan after the bigger and more luxurious Alphard/Vellfire. The name Previa, used in the United States and United Kingdom, is derived from the Italian previdenza, meaning 'providence' or 'foresight'. The name Estima is taken from the word estimable.
