Ford’s phenomenally successful Escort made its debut at the 1968 Brussels Motorshow. A direct replacement for the long-running Anglia range, while much of the mechanicals were carried over, the styling was far more contemporary. Power came from a choice of 1100 or 1300cc versions of the Crossflow ‘Kent’ engine, which drove through a slick four-speed manual gearbox or three-speed automatic unit and on to the rear wheels. Suspension was by MacPherson struts at the front and live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear, while the Escort was the first Ford to feature rack and pinion steering.

Imported from South Africa in late 2022 and in current ownership since 2023 this Escort has been uprated with a 1.6-litre Crossflow engine and more modern Ford seating - understood to be sourced from an XR3. Evoking the legendary 'Mexico' model with decals, flared arches, deep dish wheels and spot lamps, it represents a solid starting point for personalisation or to improve in it's current form. We are advised the carburettor has been set up by AP Racing at a cost of £400. Benefiting from its years spent in a dry climate, DVG 820G is offered with a current MOT to May 2026 and Swansea V5C document.
