HOW MANY FORD ESCORT 55L ARE LEFT?

There are 3 FORD ESCORT 55L left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 7 FORD ESCORT 55L that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT 55L was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,413). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 1,403 (99%) FORD ESCORT 55L have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT 55L 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 55L has gained 2. Licensed models have increased by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 0.

70% of the remaining 10 FORD ESCORT 55L in the UK are currently off the road.
