Default Rover 75 survival rates of colours

I was wondering now that the youngest built Rover/ZT are now 14 going into 15 years old, and some early ones 20 years old, what is the most popular colours still in existence ? aware silver and firefrost may be high on here due to higher numbers ( mark 2s) however the mark 1 Rover 75 will show a more mixed bag i feel

Ill start it off i have two Copperleaf red tourers

My mk2 75 is Firefrost, in my humble opinion the best non monogram colour.

Got a Mk1 Copperleaf and a MK2 Firefrost. Best of both.
Condition is far more important than colour for me though.

Be good to know how many Mirage 2 are still left, weren't many to start with! But here's one for starters.
