HOW MANY FORD ESCORT CL ARE LEFT?

There are 17 FORD ESCORT CL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 140 FORD ESCORT CL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT CL was highest during 2004 Q4 (10,640). The number taxed topped out in 2004 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 10,483 (99%) FORD ESCORT CL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2016 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT CL 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 CL has fallen by 310. Licensed models have fallen by 288 and the SORNed total has fallen by 22.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 48 FORD ESCORT CL models. Taxed models have declined by 37 and the SORNed total has fallen by 11.

89% of the remaining 157 FORD ESCORT CL in the UK are currently off the road.
