Oxford Diecast Ermine White Ford Escort Mk1

The Ford Escort Mk1, produced in the UK’s Dagenham and Halewood plants, was classed as a small family car and following its unveiling in January 1968, became an enormous success.  Before it was superseded by the Mk 2 in 1975, it was available as a 2-door, 4-door and 3-door estate. It had rear wheel drive with either a 4 speed manual or 3-speed automatic gearbox.

Our latest 1:76 scale model release is just over 5cm long and comes in a creamy white with masses of exterior silver trim, including the silver ‘stripes’ along the length of the bonnet. The characteristic ‘dog bone’ radiator grille is finished in black and silver with integral rectangular headlights. The interior is black, including the steering wheel.  Registered BOR 317J, our model dates from 1970/71.
