By year

All 6,861 surviving Leyland DAF FA 45 lorries, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 2,843 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 70.6% 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.
