Mk1 Mexico - Sold

Biog:

The car came to me from RSEscorts via RickB. Unfortunately, while the car goes like fook, not a lot was know about it's exact spec, hence the gaps below.

It's a rally prepared Mexico, with strenghtened shell, strut brace, bubble arches, roll cage etc. running a bored out Crossflow which revs to approx 8,500. The first picture shows the car competing in the Berwick Classic Rally a couple of years back. The second is from November's Classic Ford and shows the car in action at Croft.
