VAUXHALL VXR8 Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 559 VAUXHALL VXR8s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 574 in 2018 Q4 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 15 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (0.4%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 42% 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.
