HOW MANY FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM ARE LEFT?

There are 564 FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 433 FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2018 Q4.

During 2007 Q4 the number of FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM 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 RS CUSTOM has gained 246. Licensed models have increased by 306 and the SORNed total has fallen by 60.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 117 FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM models. Taxed models have grown by 316 and the SORNed total has fallen by 199.

57% of the surviving 997 FORD ESCORT RS CUSTOM in the UK are still on the road.
