Is Your Car About To Become Extinct?

A list of the rarest cars in the UK has been revealed, with some old bangers and classic cars set to become extinct forever.

An amazing list published by GoCompare has found that there are a number of car marques which could disappear from our roads within the next 12 months, with just one remaining of many great brands.

GoCompare’s list includes 14 cars where there are just one left, with some classic brands such as the Aston Martin DB1 sure to catch the eye. But motor enthusiasts might be more interested and maybe even distraught to know that there is only one Nissan Bluebird left in the UK, or that the Lada Samara might be about to disappear.

But it is the DB1 which is most sought after, one one is registered for the roads in this country, first sold in 1948 it is now thought to be worth a cool £353,407.

Not all rare cars will fetch you a small fortune though, there is only one Nissan Prarie ploughing a lonely furrow, but if it ever went on sale it would only likely fetch £2,500.

And the list of cars set for extinction goes on through the decade according to GoCompare, with the shocking news that the Fiat Uno, once one of the most popular cars of a generation, will likely go out of existence next year.

Mark Greening, motoring expert at GoCompare, said: “Classic cars are a huge part of the UK’s history and heritage and this country has crafted the models that revolutionised the industry in their heyday. Some of these classics are British favourites that have led the automotive industry so it’s strange to think we won’t see them on UK roads in 2021.

“Classic cars can be a real investment and surprisingly, classic car insurance is often cheaper than a standard policy as insurers recognise that older vehicles have lower speeds and simpler mechanics than modern vehicles, as well as owners who look after their cars well. The only downside is this high rate of decline can make the classics more expensive to maintain as parts become harder to come by.”
