Ford Capri: how many are still registered?

Ford Capri cars still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 95 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 73,579 (1994 Q4) - 14.5% of that peak survives.

5,998 of the survivors (56.1%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.
