HOW MANY FORD ESCORT GL ARE LEFT?

There are 150 FORD ESCORT GL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 219 FORD ESCORT GL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT GL was highest during 1994 Q4 (94,567). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 94,198 (100%) FORD ESCORT GL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT GL 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 has gained 71. Licensed models have increased by 43 and the SORNed total has increased by 28.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 51 FORD ESCORT GL models. Taxed models have grown by 67 and the SORNed total has fallen by 16.

59% of the remaining 369 FORD ESCORT GL in the UK are currently off the road.
