These latest 3 versions have had a co-pilot and additional head lights so that the cars could be set up as rally versions.

All the other versions represent cars that raced in a famous races (like the 24h of Spa).

The mechanical specs are: - 19.000 rpm MOTOR - 33 T AW SPUR GEAR - 12 Z AW NYLON PINION - ANODIZED ALUMINUM CHASSIS - REAR 3x6 FLANGED BALL BEARINGS

The cars had a negative camber system on the front like the real cars. This gives extra stability in the corner, as then the entire tyres profile touches the track, and gains a little bit of top speed on the straights, because less of the  tyre touch will then touch  the track on the straight.

That's a bit sneaky, isn't it?

Putting Mk2 liveries on Mk1s!

They look great, however would've been nice to see the correct wheels on the British Airways edition!

It's definitely a bit odd.

Anthony, I don't think there ever was a MkI Escort with the British Airways livery. I suspect the same may be true for the Belga livery.

Yes, don't waste any time on it, Abie.

I think you'll have a long and fruitless search.

Timo Makinen drove a Mk1 Colt Racing Escort as per the photo shown in the first post.

I also found a photo of a 1:1 Belga Escort, albeit a Retro Tribute livery, circuit racing with #2, not #6.

No sign of a British Airways Mk1, tribute or otherwise though.
