The Ford Escort was Britain’s best-selling car in several years between its introduction in 1968 and its demise in 2002. It was pitched at the lower-medium sector of the saloon car market, but rapidly became much more than that thanks to a hugely successful works motorsport programme. There were humble everyday saloons, sporty derivatives, cabriolets, estate cars and vans, and the works cars themselves, all of which are both a nostalgic reminder of earlier times and a source of great interest to car enthusiasts. This book will cover all six generations of Ford Escort in Britain, combining essential technical detail with a reminder of what the cars stood for in their day.This book will appeal to a wide readership and provides a well-informed concise summary of one of Britain’s most popular cars.
