Most recorded on UK roads at once: 87,135 (1994 Q4) - 0.6% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 475 in 2030.

462 of the survivors (88.0%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 525 surviving Rover Montego cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 113 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 82.2% 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.
