HOW MANY FORD CORTINA S ARE LEFT?

There are 20 FORD CORTINA S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 28 FORD CORTINA S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD CORTINA S was highest during 1994 Q4 (184). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 136 (74%) FORD CORTINA S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of FORD CORTINA S 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 S has gained 12. Licensed models have increased by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 5.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 9 FORD CORTINA S models. Taxed models have grown by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

58% of the remaining 48 FORD CORTINA S in the UK are currently off the road.
