The Ford Escort Mk1 was introduced in 1968 as a successor to the Ford Anglia. It was designed to be a small family car that could also compete in motorsports. The Mk1 was produced from 1968 to 1975 and was available in a variety of body styles, including saloon, estate, and panel van.

The Escort Mk1 was a commercial success for Ford, with over two million units sold during its production run. It was popular among young drivers, and its performance and affordability made it a favorite in rally racing.

The most popular engine option for the Mk1 was the 1.3-liter Crossflow engine, which produced 69 horsepower. However, there were other engine options available, including a 1.6-liter engine that produced up to 115 horsepower.

In 1970, the Escort Mk1 became the first Ford to receive the RS badge, which stood for Rallye Sport. The RS1600 model was equipped with a 1.6-liter engine and featured performance upgrades such as a close-ratio gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes, and wider wheels and tires. The RS1600 was successful in rally racing, with notable victories in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally.

The Escort Mk1 was also produced in limited numbers as a competition model, the Escort Twin Cam, which featured a high-performance twin-cam engine and other racing upgrades.

The Escort Mk1 was replaced by the Mk2 in 1975, but it remains a popular classic car today, especially among enthusiasts of rally racing. Its success in motorsports and its iconic design have cemented the Escort Mk1's place in automotive history.
