HOW MANY FORD ESCORT GTI ARE LEFT?

There are 101 FORD ESCORT GTI left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 651 FORD ESCORT GTI that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT GTI was highest during 1999 Q4 (15,010). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2009 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 14,258 (95%) FORD ESCORT GTI have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q3 the number of FORD ESCORT GTI 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 GTI has fallen by 395. Licensed models have fallen by 476 and the SORNed total has increased by 81.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 72 FORD ESCORT GTI models. Taxed models have declined by 54 and the SORNed total has fallen by 18.

87% of the remaining 752 FORD ESCORT GTI in the UK are currently off the road.
