VAUXHALL FIRENZA Rare

As of 2026 Q2, 185 VAUXHALL FIRENZAs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare 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 3 (1.6%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 45% 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 VAUXHALL FIRENZA is rarer than 53% of the 2,315 UK car models we track.

About the FIRENZA

The Firenza is a model of car offered by Vauxhall from May 1971 until 1975. It was a development of the Viva, but had a distinctive coupé body style (fastback) and only two doors. In South Africa, it was sold as the Chevrolet Firenza until it was replaced by the Chevrolet 1300/1900 during 1975. Its name is derived from Firenze, the name of the Italian city known in English as Florence.
