True. The Mexico gained it's name from Hannu Mikkola's MK1 RS winning the 1970 London-Mexico rally. Ford had the rally scene taped for a while, until the Audi Quattro reared it's head.
Nope, the Escort MK 1 RS (1600) was a far different car than the Escort Mexico....
I never said what mark it was :cool3: ?, it is/was not my motor, the mexico mkII did get the RS badge later I believe.
Not as far as i know, maybe via a retro fit performance company that was accredited to Ford RS.
MK 2 Mexico's were a bit of a sales gimmick, generally came with a 2.0L (over the standard 1.6 L), performance carb, different cam, and slightly uprated gearbox ratios and a so-called sport rated suspension/brakes. The rest was purely cosmetic...
The RS 1600 on the other hand was a pure twin cam thoroughbred, where very few of the main mechanical components were anywhere near standard and why final build work was carried out at the Aveley RS factory in Essex.
Was pretty tough to get caught speeding back in the late 60s/70s.
Used to take us a whole day to get to Glasgow or Edinburgh from Leeds.
Ireland was a 2 day trip, one way!
I know I keep harping on about it.
The only way the trade will redeem its self is by a single national register that is recognised by everyone.
I'll eat my hat if it happens in my working life ..... But you never know ...
Which was spoken about in the early 90's and still no nearer
