Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico
What is your favourite car of all time?
Named to commemorate the 1970 World Cup Rally from London to Mexico, which Ford won with Hannu Mikkola, the Mexico looks like an RS 1600 apart from its colour-contrast stripes. The reinforced structure, suspension, brakes and instrumentation are pure RS, but the engine isn't, being a straightforward Kent-type pushrod unit from the Cortina/Capri 1600GT. Much more practical for the everyday owner than an RS. Made in reasonable numbers.
