1979 Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 | Millom, Cumbria

The Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 is the quick, rear-wheel-drive Escort, known for its sloping polyurethane droop-snoot nose and a 2.0-litre Pinto engine. Ford quoted 110 bhp and a 110 mph top speed, brisk for a late-1970s saloon. This 1979 car is white with a black interior, a clean pairing that gives the sloping nose a clear outline. It is a two-door saloon that seats four. In front of a camera, the white paintwork and compact saloon shape read cleanly, which suits advertising, photography and fashion and editorial work. Film, TV and music video productions set in the late 1970s or early 1980s get a period Ford with a distinctive front end. At events, it gives a classic Ford display a talking point. Weddings and personal hires are welcome too. The car is based in Carlisle, Cumbria.
