Scalextric 1/32 Analog RTR - Ford Escort Mk 1 - Working Headlights & Taillights
History
Thirty years ago, Hannu Mikkola, with a little help from co-driver
Gunnar Palm, carved a place for himself and FEV 1H in rallying’s history
books with a dominant drive to victory on the epic 16,000-mile Daily
Mirror World Cup rally. Conceived as a promotional event for that summer’s football World
Cup, the rally linked London, the site of the 1966 World Cup, with
Mexico, the venue for the 1970 tournament. It was the longest and most
ambitious trip in post-war rallying, and received massive world-wide
publicity.
This would also make superstars of Mikkola and Escort.
The Scalextric Model
Scalextric first made the Ford Escort in 1970 and issued six liveries
which, even today, are very desirable cars for the rally enthusiast.
The latest Scalextric version of this car improves upon the original
model design in all area – detail, interior fittings, body shape, livery
decoration and stunning performance. The car is fitted with the
super-fast in-line FF motor. This model includes brand new tooling elements.
A standard Scalextric Ford Escort also won the Brooklands Test Hill Challenge in August 2009.
