Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Toyota MR2 nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.

By year

All 20,881 surviving Toyota MR2 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 6,055 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 77.4% 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.
