HOW MANY FORD ORION CLASSIC ARE LEFT?

There are 4 FORD ORION CLASSIC left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 7 FORD ORION CLASSIC that are currently SORNED.

The total number of FORD ORION CLASSIC was highest during 1994 Q4 (2,695). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,684 (100%) FORD ORION CLASSIC have been scrapped or exported.

During 2021 Q1 the number of FORD ORION CLASSIC 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 ORION CLASSIC has fallen by 5. Licensed models have fallen by 7 and the SORNed total has increased by 2.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 1 FORD ORION CLASSIC models. Taxed models have declined by 2 and the SORNed total has increased by 3.

64% of the remaining 11 FORD ORION CLASSIC in the UK are currently off the road.
