Ford Escort Mexico 1971 RESTORATION (Before & After) | For The Love Of Cars | Reel Truth History

The Mark 1 Ford Escort Mexico is the car that brought speed to the average lad on the street. It was perhaps the first car that appealed to the kid racer and meant that young people could show off by spinning their wheels.


Welcome to Reel Truth History, the home of gripping and powerful documentaries. Here you can watch both full length documentaries and series that explore some of the most comprehensive pieces of world history.

As a young kid in the 70's my mates Dad bought one of these in that orange. All the Dads in our avenue were all over it!. 😂 Bril!. Probably the best, slightly ahead of the Mini Cooper ep!. Love this series! More please. Nuff said.

Bought a '73 two-door 1100L from a workmate for thirty pounds in 1986. It drove perfectly, with only 61k on the clock. If only I'd had a crystal ball back then and seen how that box on wheels would appreciate!

Went past a few years ago & i big house stands where the garage was. Spoke with a couple of people in the know who said the car got ...Scraped!!!
