The legendary MK2 escort thanks to the British company "MST Cars and Motorsport Tools" when New cars get back on the road. However, then it becomes natural not sold as a Ford brand vehicle, rather than as a MST MK2 Escort. It has been completely redesigned, based on the Group 4 rally car and is even suitable for the UK thanks to the relatively easy type approval facility road traffic authorized. According to the company's Facebook page, the first vehicle has already been completed and is called the Prototyp used. But MST is already accepting orders for new escorts in order to sell them worldwide.

Prices currently start at £ 65.000 (just under 72.000 euros at current exchange rates) plus taxes which is of course an announcement. Especially when you consider that a new vehicle in the 70s is only between 3500 and 5500 Euros cost.

also available with widebody body

But you can really compare the price not! Especially since those interested in their new escort fully personalize can and not only have a maximum of 86 hp available, as was the case with the 1,6-liter four-cylinder from Ford CAN bus electronics not to mention.

Production is expected to begin in the next few months, with MST being around only 12 vehicles per year can build.
