HOW MANY FORD CORTINA ARE LEFT?

There are 4,978 FORD CORTINA left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 3,479 FORD CORTINA that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD CORTINA was highest during 1994 Q4 (119,892). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 111,435 (93%) FORD CORTINA have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of FORD CORTINA 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 has gained 1,955. Licensed models have increased by 1,427 and the SORNed total has increased by 528.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 750 FORD CORTINA models. Taxed models have grown by 897 and the SORNed total has fallen by 147.

59% of the surviving 8,457 FORD CORTINA in the UK are still on the road.
