1982 Ford Escort?
Hey, ya'll-
I tried some quick searching, but no luck so far. Does anyone know if there is a model of the 1982 Ford Escort available anywhere (or a 1982 RS2000, which apparently was the rally version of this car)? I have a re-coloring project in mind if I can find this... Thanks. Glenn |

oh the mark III not seen one of that ever don't paint it bright green like a friend of mine done with his real classic Mark 1 otherwise known as stop me Garda (police) green. I don't think he got more than four miles anytime without some Garda stopping him and checking his tax and insurance

Definitely not the Cosworth, something more like this:
...And I may be off on the year, apparently the Matchbox model came out in '78. Glenn |

I learnt to drive in my mums Mark III 4-door 1.6, they were quite angular and "light" looking and front-wheel drive. For some reason the two door estate was always the coolest looking one.
A Mark III XR3 or even XR3i was quite something to desire in those days. The R2000 version would be "some motor" as they say. I did drive an XR3 for a bit; it was a lot of fun but prone to rust and not the sort of thing a 20 year-old should be let anywhere near! Good luck with your search sgoti. David |

OK, That's a 2nd gen Escort (1975-1980).
If you want an older 1st generation (1968-1974), there's a simple model at Minimodel.cz (Ford Escort Mk I Rally). There's also a 4th gen (Mark V for the brits, an Escort RS Cosworth) and some Focus WRC (1st gen).

Thanks for clearing things up, cafe! That Matchbox car was my favorite when I was a kid, thought it might be fun to find a paper model and repaint it to match. Glenn |
