All-New Ford Escort Mk1 by Boreham Motorworks Revealed: Honouring Rally Heritage
Boreham Motorworks is proud to unveil the all-new Ford Escort Mk1 on 12 December 2024, a model dedicated to celebrating heritage while advancing modern performance. Known as the 'One True Descendant' of the RS lineage, this vehicle takes inspiration from the high-performance variants of the original Escort Mk1, which left a lasting mark on European roads and motorsport arenas. The lineup includes the Boreham-built Escort Twin-Cam, the championship-winning Alan Mann Racing Group 5 car, and the iconic RS2000.
At Boreham Motorworks, we are committed to honouring Ford Motor Company's iconic road, race, and rally cars, which reflect a rich heritage. Our vehicles are crafted with passion, and the Mk1, solely powered by petrol engines with manual transmissions, embodies this philosophy. We are not erasing our heritage; we are evolving it.
The new Escort represents the pinnacle of the RS lineage, merging advanced engineering and design with the authentic driving essence of the original Rallye Sport icons. It stands as the definitive successor, engineered for Peak Analogue® driving experiences. The Ford Escort Mk1 by Boreham Motorworks does not merely draw inspiration from its predecessors but is the One True Descendant.
Iain Muir, CEO of DRVN Automotive Group, states, "At DRVN, we recognise that genuine automotive passion stems from the bond between driver and vehicle—a bond shaped by the sound, feel, and response of a car built for driving. The Ford Escort Mk1 epitomises this philosophy, combining timeless design with performance that boosts confidence and delivers joy. We design cars for the road, embracing all that drivers cherish about driving."
