Each offers an insight into a particular marque or model dear to the author\u2019s heart and are illustrated with mostly previously unpublished black and white, or color photos. Each title deserves shelf space in any aficionados\u2019 library.<\/p>\n

This book tells the exciting story of the development of the legendary performance Ford Escort, which became one of the most successful rally cars of all time. Written in a way that readers can relate to, it covers the road-going cars, the dealership network and the dedicated Ford factory, as well as the illustrious motorsport achievements. Author Stewart Anderson discusses the development of Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO), the design of the twin-cam engine and the production of the RS1600, Mexico and RS2000 models. He also covers the development of Ford motorsport generally and the Rallye Sport dealership network. At a time when interest in performance Escorts from the 1970s has been never been higher, and the when the cars have featured on TV programs, this book provides all the information required for enthusiasts of 1970s classic Ford Escorts.
