The Mexico nameplate survived into the Escort MkII range but the car lost the 1600 crossflow OHV engine that had been so crucial in securing victory on the1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally and been such a huge part of the subsequent ‘Mexico’ tribute road car’s character. Instead, the Mk2 used a 1600ccversion of the RS2000’s SOHC engine. It was only 2 seconds slower to 60mph than the RS2000 but at £2978, £541 cheaper. The Mexico was the entry-levelMk2 RS Escort but is now amongst the rarest as only around 10% of the 2,290 produced in Saarlouis, West Germany, remain.
