1970 Ford Escort estate | London, Kent

This is a Ford Escort estate from the Mk1 years, the load-carrying version of Ford's everyday small family car. When the estate arrived in 1968, Ford claimed 40 per cent more load space than the Anglia estate with the rear seat folded. It has the upright, boxy look of a late-1960s family car. This car is Pink with a black interior, a pairing that reads clearly against a street or studio backdrop. The cabin has been customised, the engine has been modified, and the car is in excellent condition. It seats four, and the long, level roofline gives a clean side profile for the camera. That period shape suits photography, advertising and film or TV work set around 1970, while the colour gives fashion and editorial shoots and music videos something distinctive to frame. It also works as a characterful vehicle at events. Weddings and personal hires are welcome too. The car is based in London, Kent.
