Description
Ford continued to use the Mexico model name on a 1600 version of their highperformance Escort when the Mk2 range was launched, but used a 'Pinto' engine similar to that of the RS2000 rather than the "Kent" unit in the Mk1 Mexico. The genuine factory Mexico modelled was first registered in November 1976 and has had over twenty owners but has been with the Rotherham-based Murphy family since 2003, when it was bought by Mark Murphy for £1000. Although in reasonable condition mechanically it had rusted extensively and required a great deal of welding but was restored with help from older brother John, and father John senior, then returned to the road in 2005.
