I've been a huge fan of the Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts for as long as I can remember.
I was finally able to by this 1976 Mexico, rebuilt and converted to a RS2000 rally car back in 1999 by Skids.
He sold it to a fellow rally racer which rebuilt the car again, adding on the wide arches etc.
From what I know, it was originally white, then yellow and eventually painted in the Belga team colours.
I had it shipped across the great pond and then railway shipped across the continent.
It eventually made it to my house a month later.
I'll be doing quite a bit of work on it over the next year or so.
It's currently set up for gravel/forest stages, and I'll be using it for tarmac events, rally events and TSD/hillclimbs.
It's going to be a well employed car when it's all sorted out.
