VAUXHALL CHEVETTE Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 1,115 VAUXHALL CHEVETTEs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 19 (1.7%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 67% 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.

The family also included the Isuzu Gemini in Japan, the Holden Gemini in Australia, the Chevrolet Chevette in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Argentina, and in the U.S. and Canada it was also rebadged as the Pontiac Acadian/Pontiac T1000.
