1971 FORD ESCORT MEXICO
Restored about two years ago and fitted with 140bhp Vulcan Engineering X/Flow
Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, 1971. Restored about two years ago and fitted with a 140bhp Vulcan Engineering X/Flow with twin Webers with dyno sheet. Good history file with various parts supplied by Burton Power and old MOT certificates and tax discs. Great all round performance. The Ford Escort was launched at the 1968 Brussels Motor Show and aware that the Cortina was in the autumn of its competition career, Ford’s competition department had been developing a race/rally version throughout 1967. An early competition win was Hannu Mikkola’s victory on the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally, and to capitalise on which Ford created the limited edition, AVO-built Escort Mexico in time for the 1971 season with a strengthened shell, Rallye Sport suspension and brakes, and a 1600cc ‘Kent’ engine. Comes with a full MOT and service.
