HOW MANY FORD ESCORT FLIGHT ARE LEFT?

There are 83 FORD ESCORT FLIGHT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 290 FORD ESCORT FLIGHT that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT FLIGHT was highest during 2001 Q4 (14,462). The number taxed topped out in 2001 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 14,089 (97%) FORD ESCORT FLIGHT have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT FLIGHT 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.
