HOW MANY FORD CORTINA GL ARE LEFT?

There are 213 FORD CORTINA GL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 210 FORD CORTINA GL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD CORTINA GL was highest during 1994 Q4 (30,967). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 30,544 (99%) FORD CORTINA GL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of FORD CORTINA GL that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of FORD CORTINA GL has gained 68. Licensed models have increased by 104 and the SORNed total has fallen by 36.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 25 FORD CORTINA GL models. Taxed models have grown by 135 and the SORNed total has fallen by 110.

50% of the surviving 423 FORD CORTINA GL in the UK are still on the road.
