The Mk. I Ford Escort was introduced in the UK at the end of
1967. making its show debut at Brussels Motor Show in January 1968
and replacing the successful. long running Anglia. The Escort
became successful as a rally car and eventually went on to become
one of the most successful rally cars of all time. The Ford works
team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960's and early
1970's; arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970
London to Mexico World Cup Rally being driven by Finnish legend
Hannu Mikkola. This gave rise to the Escort Mexico special edition
road versions in honour of the rally car. The Ford Escort Mk. I was
launched in January 1968 and the Van version followed in April
using all new panel work except for the rear doors. which were
carried over from the Anglia-based vans. A lowly 1298cc 'Kent'
cross flow engine provided the power for the 6cwt and 8cwt
versions.

This Ford Escort 8cwt Van is in excellent condition throughout
and has been the subject of a cosmetic restoration within the last
ten years. The vendor is a film and television vehicle hire company
who purchased the van in October 2013 for use in films and TV
programmes and. as such. the vehicle has been fully maintained and
looked after. This Ford Escort Van is finished in its original
colour blue with black vinyl seats and is supplied with a V5C
registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in
October 2015. These small. commercial vehicles are becoming very
sought after and it is unusual to find one in such good
condition.
