Most recorded on UK roads at once: 748 (2005 Q4) - 13.3% of that peak survives.
Disappearing at about 6.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 70 in 2030.
80 of the survivors (80.0%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives
DVLA also registers other body types under the Tata Safari nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.
By year
All 100 surviving Tata Safari cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 161 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 37.8% 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.
Cars joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built.
