FORD FREEDOM Uncommon

As of 2026 Q1, 1,319 FORD FREEDOMs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,385 in 2022 Q4 — only 95% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 66 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 21 a year (1.6% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2068 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
