Ford Sierra: how many are still registered?

DVLA also registers other body types under the Ford Sierra nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 13,493 surviving Ford Sierra cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 216 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 98.4% 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.
