    I like it Mike!!!!! Look at the wheels, the decals and front headlight and rear light, it's very details finished almost next to the real thing for the classic rally car!
    This is certainly worth collection!

    Love Ford Escorts, especially the MK1 & 2.
    My uncle had one...it's a white Mk1. It's a car my cousin and I learned to drive. There were MK2 RS though the in red, with flared fenders and different nose were I grew up… those are extra nice then!
    This example is great!

    Thanks Erwin! Yes these Ford Escorts are my real favorite rally and street cars way back growing up, I never owned one, maybe thats the reason why I collect these replicas.
