Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Lefthand drive. Factory prepared for the 1970 London Mexico World Cup Rally, still with its original body shell. replacement 1,834cc Ford engine with dual 40DCOE Webers, dry sump, ZF 5 speed, LSD, full braced roll cage with exposed front braces, four Cibie driving lights, bull bars, Halda Twin Trip calculator, competition seats with harnesses. Restored in the late 80s and essentially as it left London on its way to finishing fifth overall.

Market commentary

Unusual history and configuration make this a particularly interesting Escort and particularly expensive for what it is but not for its history or its sympathetic restoration. It will be plenty of fun on historic events, fun that is appropriately discounted in this impressive price.
