1975 Ford Escort Rally Car
Built to left hand drive specification and prepared for rally specification in Finland
Estimate
£10, 000 - £14, 000
Registration No: Unregistered
Chassis No: BBATRY78856
MOT: Exempt
A left-hand drive market car understood to have been campaigned in a number of Finnish rallies
Fitted with a 1600 Crossflow with twin Weber Carburettors, Close Ratio Gearbox and Limited Slip Differential
A running, driving car that should prove to be a rewarding project
When the Escort was re-launched as the 'MkII' for 1975. The RS1800 model made its winning debut as a works Group 2 car on the Granite Rally in April 1975, victory going to Roger Clark. In that year's Lombard-RAC Rally, Timo Makinen brought his RS1800 home ahead of the field to score the car's first major international success. It would be the first of five consecutive Lombard-RAC victories for the RS1800 and its Escort RS Group 4 derivative. In 1979 the Escort brought Ford its first World Rally Championship for Makes while works driver Björn Waldegård became the first official World Rally Champion.
