1981 | This two tone brown Ford Escort is fitted with working headlights and is a fine representative of the stable from whence it comes. A 1598cc engine producing 98 bhp has powered this car to many wins in rallies throughout the country. |
1982 | The Escort has proved itself as one of the finest rally cars ever made. Its record in the RAC rally is unmatched, since 1971 it has been the number 1 contender. In order to maintain their position Ford's have made continuous updates and improvements to their models. Ford's Mexico on which the Scalextric version is based had a 1598 cc engine which was capable of producing 98 bhp. The Scalextric model is finished in two tone brown with contrasting orange and yellow lines. |
