Derivatives
DVLA also registers other body types under the BMW 2800 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.
By year
All 32 surviving BMW 2800 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 20 of them; the rest are registered without one and cannot be placed on the year-built bars.
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.
