1970 Ford Mk 1 Escort Rally Car FRESH BUILD SOLD

The unique opportunity to buy this beautiful car that was specially commissioned for the Peking Paris 2016 rally is not to be missed!

With the highest specifications possible and all the latest competition upgrades for this vehicle type, this Mk 1 rally ready Escort is unlike any other and bares no relation to anything else on the market.

The car was built by industry renowned Dave Jenkins with a fully documented build history.

This is effectively a brand new car with the all-important FIA log book and is competition ready.

Due to a change of personal circumstances the vendor reluctantly has placed this rally ready car up for sale.

Supplied with new MOT and license.

Purchase price is a reflection of the build costs.

Collection or delivery available
