Description
1974 Ford Escort Mk1 - Group 4-Style Rally Car, Ground-Up Build | Road Legal | 222.5 BHP
A truly exceptional Mk1 Ford Escort Group 4 inspired rally car, built from the bare shell up with uncompromising attention to detail. This is not a restoration, it is a bespoke, no-expense-spared build, created as a labour of love over the last 12 months.
The car has covered just 1.5 mile since completion, has a 12-month MOT, and is fully road legal. Every component is either brand new, professionally refurbished, or custom built, with all parts carefully selected to create an authentic old-school rally Escort.

This Escort is flawless, meticulously detailed, and utterly unique. It would be equally at home as a show-stopping display car, a collector's investment, or a carefully used historic-style road and event car.
Cars of this calibre, condition, and specification rarely come to market and certainly not with such a comprehensive build history.
Serious buyers only.
