Historical Background

The Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 is one of the most iconic performance cars of the 1970s and a true legend in Ford’s rally heritage. Introduced in 1975 as part of the second-generation Ford Escort range, the RS2000 combined the lightweight rear-wheel-drive Escort Mk2 platform with Ford’s proven 2.0-litre Pinto engine, creating a fast and highly capable sports saloon that quickly became a favourite among enthusiasts and motorsport drivers alike.

Distinguished by its distinctive sloping polyurethane nose cone, sporty alloy wheels and bold RS styling, the Escort Mk2 RS2000 offered strong performance and excellent handling both on the road and in competition. Producing around 110 bhp, the RS2000 delivered lively acceleration and became closely associated with British rallying during the late 1970s. The Escort Mk2 platform achieved major success in international rally competition, helping cement Ford’s reputation in motorsport and turning the RS-badged Escort models into enduring classics.

Production of the Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 continued until 1980, when the rear-wheel-drive Escort Mk2 range was replaced by the front-wheel-drive Escort Mk3. Today, the RS2000 is considered one of the most collectable classic Fords ever produced, with original examples commanding strong interest among enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Its combination of rally pedigree, unmistakable styling and historic significance makes the Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 a must-have for classic car fans and die-cast model collectors alike.
