HOW MANY FORD ESCORT SOLAR ARE LEFT?

There are 21 FORD ESCORT SOLAR left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 70 FORD ESCORT SOLAR that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ESCORT SOLAR was highest during 1996 Q4 (683). The number taxed topped out in 1996 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2008 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 592 (87%) FORD ESCORT SOLAR have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q1 the number of FORD ESCORT SOLAR 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 SOLAR has fallen by 35. Licensed models have fallen by 34 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 11 FORD ESCORT SOLAR models. Taxed models have declined by 10 and the SORNed total has fallen by 1.

77% of the remaining 91 FORD ESCORT SOLAR in the UK are currently off the road.
