VAUXHALL MAGNUM Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 82 VAUXHALL MAGNUMs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain 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 (3.8%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 60% 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 MAGNUM is rarer than 61% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
