Ford Escort 1970 mk1

Brand: Ford
Model: Escort mk1
Date of manufacture: 1970
Plate: FYY 513H
Colour: red
Country of registration: UNITED KINGDOM
Country of manufacture: BELGIUM

This is a beautiful example of a Ford Escort mark 1, photographed in Copenhagen, Denmark. Despite the 'GB' sticker, and the United Kingdom numberplate, this car is a left hand drive, so manufactured in Genk, Belgium. It's certainly been around! Several different engine sizes were available, 1100cc and 1300cc being the most common, but a 940cc equipped vehicle (as is the case here) was produced primarily for the French and Italian markets. The mark 1 Escort was available from 1968 - this early example was first registered in January 1970.

Beautifully restored two-door mark 1 Ford Escort from 1970. First registered in February '70, this example precedes the release of the Ford Escort Mexico (November '70) but it looks pretty fine in its Mexico paint job, which only accentuates the "coke bottle" body style and "dogbone" front grille. Nice car!
