HOW MANY FORD ESCORT LX I ARE LEFT?

There are 57 FORD ESCORT LX I left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 441 FORD ESCORT LX I that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT LX I was highest during 1996 Q4 (93,330). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2007 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 92,832 (99%) FORD ESCORT LX I have been scrapped or exported.

During 2015 Q1 the number of FORD ESCORT LX I 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 LX I has fallen by 454. Licensed models have fallen by 386 and the SORNed total has fallen by 68.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 86 FORD ESCORT LX I models. Taxed models have declined by 46 and the SORNed total has fallen by 40.

89% of the remaining 498 FORD ESCORT LX I in the UK are currently off the road.
