Most recorded on UK roads at once: 9,377 (2012 Q1) - 41.7% of that peak survives.
Disappearing at about 10.8% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,210 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2037.
1,553 of the survivors (39.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year
All 3,918 surviving Alfa Romeo 159 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 5,291 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 42.5% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
Cars joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built.
