HOW MANY FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD ARE LEFT?

There are 24 FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 67 FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD was highest during 1994 Q4 (12,923). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 12,832 (99%) FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD 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 GL 5SPD has fallen by 19. Licensed models have fallen by 33 and the SORNed total has increased by 14.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 5 FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has fallen by 3.

74% of the remaining 91 FORD ESCORT GL 5SPD in the UK are currently off the road.
