Ford Escort RS1600 - The Potent Mix
"Ford Escort RS1600 - The Potent Mix".
This was how Ford's advertising campaign announced the Escort RS1600 to
the world in early 1970. A combination of Escort Twin Cam chassis and running
gear allied with Ford's newly developed Cosworth sixteen-valve twin cam BDA
(Belt Drive Type A) engine unit. The announcement heralded the birth of what was
to become, along with its Mk11 descendant the RS1800, arguably the most
successful rally car of the 1970
