The Ford Escort was introduced in the United Kingdom at the end
of 1967. making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in
January 1968. The Escort was a commercial success in many parts of
Western Europe but nowhere more than in the UK where it was the
national best seller of the 1960's. In June 1974. less than six
years after the car's UK introduction. Ford announced the
completion of the two millionth Ford Escort; a milestone unmatched
by any Ford model outside the USA. The Mk. I featured contemporary
styling cues in tune with its time; a subtle Detroit-inspired 'Coke
bottle' waistline and the 'dogbone' shaped front grill - arguably
the car's most famous stylistic feature.

This outstanding Ford Escort has been owned by the vendor for
the last 15 years and the car has benefitted from substantial
investment under his stewardship. The specification is
comprehensive and is confirmed by a substantial history file. The
engine is a Pinto block. mated to a 'Warrior' 16 valve cylinder
head. The gearbox is a five-speed sequential change unit and the
rear axle is a limited-slip unit. overhauled in 2011. The shell is
a Gartrac body and meets Motor Sport Association standards. safely
housing the two-Litre engine which was reconditioned in 2012 by
Connaught Competition Engines at a cost of £3. 97. 60. Subsequently
the car has been Dyno tested and confirmed to produce 291bhp. To be
expected. the interior has a rollcage. Corbeau racing seats and
harnesses together with the necessary instrumentation for
competition use. Supplied with a V5 registration document. full
year's MoT test certificate and MSA Competition Car Log Book
(issued 9th April 2002). this is a superb example and
any interested parties would be advised to view the vehicle
carefully to fully appreciate the specification and quality of this
example.
