Issue 50 - 1979 Ford Escort RS2000.
This model is a key piece in a high-quality series of 1:43 scale Australian cars, offering collectors a detailed journey through the nation's motoring past. Assembled at Ford's Homebush plant in New South Wales, this classic brought European rally pedigree directly to local roads.
With its distinctive slant-nose front and twin-choke carburettor setup, it became an instant favourite among driving enthusiasts. This vehicle excelled in both tarmac sprints and daily commutes, proving that compact performance could thrive alongside traditional Australian V8 muscle.
For collectors, this 1:43 scale miniature perfectly captures the aggressive stance and iconic stripe package of the late seventies performance icon. It stands as a vital tribute to a golden era when smaller, agile cars began to redefine the Australian performance car landscape.
