Ford Escort Mexico 1974
The Mark I Escorts became successful as a rally car, and they 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 1960s / early 1970s, and arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally, driven by Finnish legend Hannu Mikkola and Swedish co-driver Gunnar Palm. This gave rise to the Escort Mexico (1598cc "crossflow"-engine) special edition road versions in honour of the rally car. Introduced in November 1970, 10, 352 Mexico Mark Is were built using bodyshells using additional strengthening panels in high stress areas making them more suitable for competition.
This Ford Escort Mexico was sold new here in Finland and has been with the same owner for around 22 years. It was restored in 2000, 21 years ago and still looking this great. The only reason for sale is due to extreme lack of use, now is time for someone else to enjoy this rare classic Ford Escort Mexico.
As you will see in the photos, it is in very good and rust-free condition. Inspected (MOT/ TUV) last summer and fully road worthy.
I have many detailed photos that can be supplied on request, also just let me know if you have any questions.
This Ford Escort Mexico is in Finland and can be shipped worldwide!
Please know that I will help you in every way possible with the purchase. I have good contacts for shipping the vehicle all over the world. If you would like to come and view the vehicle before purchasing that would be great but if it isn’t possible to come and view I will do my best to give you as much information and as many photos as you require. I purchase a lot from foreign countries, so I know exactly the situation you are in.
