By year

All 5,749 surviving Mini First cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 1,640 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 77.8% 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.
