This is one of a variety of
cars that were in the Pallot Museum in Jersey that we visited while on holiday in
May 2013.

The Ford Escort Mark I was a successful
rally car and the Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Its greatest victory was probably in the 1970 London to Mexico
World Cup Rally, driven by Finnish driver Hannu Mikkola with Swedish co-driver Gunnar Palm. Ford then
produced this special edition road version named the Escort Mexico which had a 4-cylinder
inline 1,598cc crossflow engine and over 10,000 of these cars were produced
between 1970 and 1974.
