Escort Mk2 1600 Sport, RS2000 & Cortina Mk4 3000S. The final item in this section is an 8 page folding brochure featuring these 3 models only, which I guess will be from 1978/1979. This was produced for the South African market where Ford were famous for putting big lumps in normal cars, as were Ford Australia at the time. The Mk4 Cortina of course was never available with 3 litre power in the UK - this must have been a great drive with lower ride height, stiffer suspension and low profile tyres. No factory Ref.



These and many more can all be found at daves site!

A very interesting little hobby, my parents would have had me
tidy them away into the bin a long time ago!
Well done dave!
