HOW MANY FORD ESCORT 55 ARE LEFT?

There are 63 FORD ESCORT 55 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 287 FORD ESCORT 55 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT 55 was highest during 1994 Q4 (47,168). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 46,818 (99%) FORD ESCORT 55 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q1 the number of FORD ESCORT 55 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 ESCORT 55 has fallen by 132. Licensed models have fallen by 172 and the SORNed total has increased by 40.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 19 FORD ESCORT 55 models. Taxed models have declined by 18 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

82% of the remaining 350 FORD ESCORT 55 in the UK are currently off the road.
