By year

All 6 surviving Talbot Express cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 5 of them; the rest are registered without one and cannot be placed on the year-built bars. Across every year, 4 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 50.0% 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.
