Condition
6
While described as a period-style stage rally car with a restoration dating back to 2003, it hasn't been used recently, suggesting potential mechanical issues. The body shell is original, but the bonnet is fiberglass, and a mechanical check is advised, pointing to a condition that isn't pristine but potentially restorable to a higher level.

The MkI Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968.
The Escort had conventional rear-wheel drive and a four-speed manual gearbox, or three-speed automatic transmission.
The suspension consisted of MacPherson strut front suspension and a simple live axle mounted on leaf springs.
The Escort was the first small Ford to use rack-and-pinion steering.
The MkI featured contemporary styling cues in tune with its time: a subtle Detroit-inspired "Coke bottle" waistline and the "dogbone" shaped front grille – arguably the car's main stylistic feature.
The MkI Escort became successful as a rally car, and eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time.
The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s / early 1970s, and arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the London to Mexico World Cup Rally.
