Porsche 944: how many are still registered?

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 10,137 (1994 Q4) - 60.9% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 0.5% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 6,027 in 2030.

3,949 of the survivors (63.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 6,182 surviving Porsche 944 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 13 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 99.7% 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.
