HOW MANY FORD CORTINA GLS ARE LEFT?

There are 12 FORD CORTINA GLS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 30 FORD CORTINA GLS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD CORTINA GLS was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,190). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,148 (96%) FORD CORTINA GLS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of FORD CORTINA GLS 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 GLS has gained 9. Licensed models have increased by 2 and the SORNed total has increased by 7.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 2 FORD CORTINA GLS models. Taxed models have grown by 3 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

71% of the remaining 42 FORD CORTINA GLS in the UK are currently off the road.
