By year

All 9,616 surviving Rover 200 Series cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 20,569 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 31.8% 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.
