Most recorded on UK roads at once: 258 (1994 Q4) - 46.1% of that peak survives.

The decline has levelled off - survivor numbers have held steady over the last five years.

46 of the survivors (38.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 119 surviving Wolseley 1300 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 34 of them; the rest are registered without one and cannot be placed on the year-built bars. Across every year, 2 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 94.2% 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.
