AI Listing Summary
This 1974 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, finished in LeMans Green, is a right-hand drive example with recent mechanical maintenance, including engine reconditioning. The car has been well-maintained by its long-term owner, appearing at AVO National Days, the NEC, and on the Wheeler Dealer stand.
Condition
7
The car description indicates recent mechanical maintenance and mentions that the car has attended events since 2014, suggesting it's in good running condition. However, the overall cosmetic condition isn't explicitly detailed, so I assume slight wear may be present. Therefore, it's likely in Very Good condition.

It seems likely that Ford already had plans to produce a high performance Escort to fit in the range between the 1300GT and the Twin-Cam/RS1600, but their victory in the World Cup Rally, finishing in Mexico, provided an ideal platform to launch such a model.
The engineers at the newly formed AVO (Advanced Vehicles Operations) quickly developed the Mexico, marrying the Type 49 bodyshell, as used in the Twin-Cam and RS1600, with the 1,600cc Kent 'crossflow' engine and 2000E gearbox.
So effectively, the Mexico was basically a re-engined Twin-Cam/RS1600.
The Mexico became AVO's most successful and numerous of the 'Rally Sport Escorts' and had a number of advantages on the road in that it had excellent performance, was easy to maintain, relatively easy to insure and above all, it was great to drive, something which is still true today.
Mk1 Escort Mexico production ended in January 1975 when Ford closed its AVO plant at Aveley.
