Works Escorts In Detail

Works Escorts in Detail covers the Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts which were originally humble family cars that ended up as highly successful competition cars, both on the rally stage and the race track

Car by car, this book covers all Ford’s works cars. Between 1968 and 1981 the Ford Escort was probably the most successful rally car in the world. Rallying became progressively more glamorous, the teams and drivers more famous, and the cars became more colourful, in that period.

The Ford-UK factory and its closest associates built no fewer than 113 Mk I cars of all types (1968 to 1974), and 55 Mk 2 cars (1975 to 1981). This new book covers all of these vehicles, car-by-car detailing build details, colour schemes, competition history, technical development. Every individual car is illustrated in its principal liveries using archive pictures and several of the more important cars have been specially photographed in great detail.

The author has also written well received books on the Cortina, Corsair and Capri which preceded the Escort.
