Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Renault 17 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 30 surviving Renault 17 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 20 of them; the rest are registered without one and cannot be placed on the year-built bars. Across every year, 6 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 68.4% 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.
