Escort MK1 C052 ,a restoration
#3

Nice one Alexis!   The C052 Escort is one of those truly classic Scalextric cars that is pretty much forgotten. It was a desirable car back in the day but we soon discovered the poor handling as these were produced in the era of banked-curves which needed the front axle to float.  (Easily fixed by installing an axle tube and reducing the length of the guide-flag mount).
If I recall correctly Scalextric identified these as the Ford Escort Special Build, referencing the Ford Advanced Vehicle Operations function.
