Most recorded on UK roads at once: 3,509 (1994 Q4) - 28.3% of that peak survives.

509 of the survivors (51.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year
All 994 surviving Daimler Sovereign cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 694 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. DVLA's first-registration series starts in 2001, well after the Daimler Sovereign was being sold new, so these are almost entirely imports rather than the car's original sales.
