The Mark I Ford Escort was introduced in the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at Brussels Motor Show in January 1968, replacing the Ford Anglia.
Initially the continental Escorts differed slightly from the UK built ones under the skin. The front suspension and steering gear were differently configured and the brakes were fitted with dual hydraulic circuits; also the wheels fitted on the Genk-built Escorts had wider rims. At the beginning of 1970, continental European production transferred to a new plant on the edge of Saarlouis, West Germany.
The model proved a runaway success with 1,076,112 built in the UK of the 2,228.349 built in Europe over its five year production run. With others built worldwide.
Rounded style, monocoque MacPherson strut front suspension, cross flow head engines and slick gearboxes.
