One for the Blue Oval connoisseur, highly original, lots of provenance and a condition to warrant a place on the show field or in the concours arena. A Mk1 Mexico at its best. The car presented here is a UK-supplied 1972 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, correctly finished in Sunset Red with white stripes and currently owned by one of the foremost Ford collectors and experts in the UK. This is as good as you’d want any Mexico to be. Built in May 1972 at Ford’s AVO factory in Aveley, it was supplied by Ford Rallye Sport dealer, Broadspeed Ltd of Leamington Spa, to a Mr C.G. Blake at a total cost of £1,199 including seatbelts and Ziebart protection and first registered on 14th June 1972.With just four former keepers since, all of them Ford enthusiasts including the AVO Owners Club RS1600 Registrar, William Arnold, for 13 years, there is much provenance to back up its condition. An accompanying comprehensive history file contains two large booklets spanning the entire life of the car from the initial Order Form in 1972 through to the latest service using Ford Motocraft items in July 2024. There are also historic MOT Certificates, the original service book, maintenance invoices and many AVO Club Valuations, including an early one from Mexico Registrar, Andy Percival, for £2,750. Also present are many photos of the meticulous restoration carried out in the late 1990s, which is also magazine-featured and is a testament to how well the car presents today over two decades later. Such was the standard that, when completed in April 2000 and on the cars first outing to AVO National Day, it achieved a third in class and was invited onto the AVO Club Stand at the Classic & Sports Car NEC Show in November 2000.Resplendent in one of the three original launch colours, Sunset Red (Code J), this early production L-specification example retains all the correct period details (such as the rear stone deflector held in by eight bolts in the boot floor and strengthened AVO workmanship). Panel fit is excellent, many still protected by the Ziebart rust protection applied when new and the rear arches are correctly rolled. The lens units are FoMoCo and the front Carello headlamps are protected by clear dome covers. The contrasting Mexico stickers are in fantastic condition, promoting the iconic rally look, with all glass being the genuine Ford Triplex items including the front screen.Inside displays the correct Black PVC upholstery (Code AA), as fitted to ‘L’-specification early cars. Fitted with the factory 140mph speedometer and 8,000rpm rev counter, all gauges, controls and switches are fully operational. The original black one-piece rubber floor mat is also present and in excellent condition.The boot area has the early Mexico’s battery-in-boot setup, meaning the spare wheel is mounted to the boot floor. The boot mat is original and incredibly, the rear cardboard boot spring protector is present along with black light protectors undamaged. The jack and wheel brace are within the original fawn muslin bag held down by the correct rubber band.Under the bonnet resides the matching numbers four-cylinder 1600 GT crossflow engine with the 711M block, quoted in the sales brochure at 86bhp, offering 100mph with little effort and 0-60 in under 11 seconds. Correct specification throughout from the AC oval metal airbox finished in silver to the Weber 32/36 DGV-FA carburettor will also please marque enthusiasts. The top-plate reveals the chassis number and the original VIN plate and AVO ID plate remain fixed to the slam panel.Fitted with the correct pressed steel wheels with the cooling slots measuring 5.5 x 13" and immaculate chrome hubcaps and a matching set of Goodyear GT Sport 175/70 R13. The remote servo-assisted brakes powered by the early Girling Powerstop AHV 550 Mk2A help grip the front discs and the rear drums more than adequately.Interest in Performance Fords from the 1970s and 1980s shows no signs of abating and this remarkable Sunset Red Mexico would be an asset to any enthusiast of these era-defining, characterful, sporting Fords.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT MK1 MEXICO Year: 1972 Chassis Number: BFATMC00089 Registration Number: HAC 522K Transmission: Manual Engine Number: MC00089 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Registration No: 559 FYN Chassis No: 5413 MOT: ExemptAccompanying history file dates back to 1972 and lists three former keepersFinished in its original colour scheme of British Racing Green with Tan leather upholsterySupplied with full weather equipmentFull engine overhaul recently completed by TR Enterprises to 'fast road' specificationFirst seen in 1950, the Morgan Plus 4 was a larger and more powerful derivative of the company's 4/4 and remained in production on and off for seventy years. Up until 1969, it was powered by the four-cylinder engines found in the Triumph TR range, which were mated to a four-speed manual gearbox with well-spaced ratios. The rakish body was mounted on a variant of Morgan's familiar Z-section chassis, underslung at the rear. The suspension was independent by sliding pillars and coil springs at the front and a live axle on semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Braking was by drums all-round and steering by a Burman cam and selector system. As tested by Autosport's John Bolster, the 100bhp 1991cc Triumph-engined Plus Four would accelerate to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a top speed of a whisker under 105mph.Manufactured in 1963, chassis ‘5413’ was supplied new to the home market and was first registered on the 26th June that year. With power supplied by the 2,138cc Triumph TR3 engine connected to the four-speed manual Moss gearbox, the Plus 4 was finished from the factory in British Racing Green paintwork coachwork with complementary Tan leather interior upholstery. This is pleasingly still the colour combination in which the Morgan presents today, and interestingly, the Plus 4 returned to the factory in 1980 for a full re-trim to its original colours. In several periods of long-term ownership throughout its life, the Morgan is understood to have had just three former keepers. Remaining in the United Kingdom until 1985 when the second owner emigrated from Guildford to California, USA, the Morgan accompanying him on the voyage and remaining there for numerous years.Repatriated to the United Kingdom in 2011, ‘559 FYN’ spent a considerable amount of its American time residing in the dry state of California, which is a testament to its condition now. Recently benefitting from a full engine overhaul completed by TR Enterprises to fast road specification, the Morgan started readily and ran very well during our recent photography session, sustaining excellent oil pressure. Supplied with full weather equipment comprising hood (trimmed in Brown), hood frame, full tonneau, and hood bag to accompany the original jack, wheel brace, and spare wheel cover. The accompanying history file dates back to 1972 with numerous previous invoices and MOTs, an instruction book, American documentation, and a current V5C document showing three former keepers. With a freshly overhauled engine, this is a low ownership example of a British icon! For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
