HOW MANY FORD ESCORT L TD ARE LEFT?

There are 2 FORD ESCORT L TD left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 22 FORD ESCORT L TD that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT L TD was highest during 1998 Q4 (2,628). The number taxed topped out in 1998 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,604 (99%) FORD ESCORT L TD have been scrapped or exported.

During 2014 Q1 the number of FORD ESCORT L TD 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.
