RARITY RIDES / BROWSE BY PRODUCTION
Explore vehicle programmes with approved, documented figures up to 7,500. Completed totals, manufacturer-reported figures and announced programme limits remain separately labelled. Regional deliveries, colour subsets and surviving examples are not substituted for a whole-programme figure.

IN THE ARCHIVEFerrari F40↗A MORE CONSIDERED COLLECTION
Profiles without an approved figure stay in the collection without a numerical band. Competition and concept archives have their own view and do not enter the numerical production bands. No number is inferred from the words “rare” or “one-off”.
A band can contain documented totals, manufacturer-reported figures and announced programme limits. Use the figure-basis filter to separate them. A blank count is never treated as zero.

1,855 profiles
Nissan 1978
The 1978 Datsun 280Z Black Pearl Edition is a documented North American special whose name Nissan later revived for the JUKE. Its appeal is the dark presentation of the original Z shape…
Lotus 1978
The Lotus Type 79 refines the ground-effect approach into the programme associated with the 1978 championships. Its full race-car name is essential because Lotus also used Type 79 for the unrelated road…
Mercedes-Benz 1978
The Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC 5.0 combined the long-roof proportions of the C 107 coupé with a lightweight-block V8 and a place in the marque’s rallying story. Its model name matters: this is…
Peugeot 1978
The works 504 V6 Coupé translated Peugeot's elegant road-car shape into a formidable African rally machine. Its 1978 Safari victory with Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Jean-Claude Lefebvre is the central reference for this…
Lotus 1979
The Lotus Esprit S2 World Championship Commemorative model translates the black-and-gold racing association into a named road-car programme. Its genuine factory identity is established separately from inconsistent published production totals.
Lotus 1979
The Lotus Type 80 extends the ground-effect concept beyond the Type 79’s established layout. Its primary history records both the ambition of longer underbody tunnels and the aerodynamic instability that limited the…
Citroën 1980
The 1980 Citroën Karin is an exceptionally direct statement of geometric design. Its broad lower body and tiny upper roof make the car appear to gather around the driver, creating a concept…
Nissan 1980
The black-and-gold 1980 Datsun 280ZX 10th Anniversary Edition marked a decade of the Z with a visibly richer grand-touring specification. Nissan confirms 2,500 cars in this colour group, within a 3,000-car anniversary…
Nissan 1980
With 500 cars reported by Nissan, the red-and-black 1980 Datsun 280ZX 10th Anniversary Edition is the smaller colour allocation within the model's 3,000-car celebration. It shares the anniversary programme with the better-known…
Ferrari 1980
The Ferrari Mondial 8 placed a four-seat cabin within a mid-engine V8 grand touring layout.
Lamborghini 1980
The Lamborghini Athon uses an open cabin and emphatic geometric body to explore a different kind of compact sports car. Its physical concept identity is preserved with a named creator, original source…
Lotus 1980
The Lotus Type 86 is a physical twin-chassis prototype conceived to address the Type 80’s aerodynamic instability. It belongs in a development archive, with its later public appearance kept separate from a…
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
