TTS is proud to present you 3 new versions of Ford Mk1.

These should already be in your favourite slotshop or there very shortly!!


Ford Escort Mk.1 Gr.2 #6
"BELGA TEAM" EDITION
CODE: TTS029

   


                                                             

Ford Escort Mk.1 Gr.2 #6
"COLT RACING" EDITION
CODE: TTS030


                                                            


                                                            

Ford Escort Mk.1 Gr.2 #5
"BRITISH AIRWAYS" EDITION
CODE: TTS031

   


                                                          

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.

I chose this one.

[Mr.M]

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

Putting Mk2 liveries on Mk1s!

[DPJ]

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

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

Putting Mk2 liveries on Mk1s!

It's definitely a bit odd.

[Anthony B]

SO let me put my hand up - I may have picked up the WRONG real life pictures ....


Errrmmmm back to drawing board tomorrow to double check what I have done.... dont wanna get the manufacturers upset :)

[JasonB]

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.

[Mr.M]

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.
