Derivatives
DVLA also registers other body types under the Volkswagen Clipper nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is cars only.
By year
All 24 surviving Volkswagen Clipper cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 21 of them; the rest are registered without one and cannot be placed on the year-built bars. Across every year, 57 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 26.9% 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.
