HOW MANY FORD ESCORT L 5SPD ARE LEFT?

There are 94 FORD ESCORT L 5SPD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 367 FORD ESCORT L 5SPD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT L 5SPD was highest during 1994 Q4 (78,022). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 77,561 (99%) FORD ESCORT L 5SPD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT L 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.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 27 FORD ESCORT L 5SPD models. Taxed models have declined by 36 and the SORNed total has increased by 9.

80% of the remaining 461 FORD ESCORT L 5SPD in the UK are currently off the road.
