The Ford Escort is possibly the most iconic rally car of all time. It started with the Ford Escort Mk1 back when everything was black and white. The Mk1 evolved into the Mk2 and then the layout changed to front-wheel drive before Ford saw sense and developed a four-wheel drive fire breathing World Rally Car version of the Ford Escort.
As a preparation company we have been lucky enough to have built and maintained Escorts from every era and for customers all over the world. Ramsport’s reputation for knowing a thing or two about cars from the blue oval led us recently to being asked to build a Ford Escort Mk1 RS1600 to full FIA historic rally specification. Luckily for you we kept a diary of the build and took plenty of photographs during the construction.

We recently built a rather nice Group 1 Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 which we finished with period livery. We’ve got lots of pictures and information on the build which we will be sharing with you when we get five minutes to update the website in between bolting bits onto rally cars. Until then, you can browse the gallery below which details the build right from when the car was a freshly painted bare body shell. There is even a grainy photo included at the end which shows the car in action when it was first built into a competition car.
We’ve been involved with some interesting projects recently. We think it is only polite for us to share what it takes to produce rally winning historic rally cars and modern Group N and World Rally Cars. To that end we will be updating our website with galleries and details of the projects.
We are currently building a full FIA spec’ Historic Porsche 914/6 rally car. The car is currently sat on a spit in the workshop and is just a bare body shell having had the roll cage installed and extensive fabrication work carried out. Sub-assemblies are being rebuilt and packages of exciting shiny new parts are arriving at the workshop on a regular basis.
We’ll do our best to update the Porsche 914/6 gallery and give further details of the build as it progresses.

If you are partial to the sound of BDA engine at full chat then have a look at this video of the Ramsport Mk1 Ford Escort RS1600, driven by Vegard Joa and co-driven by Phil Mills, which won the historic class and ran as high as 14th overall among a variety of modern rally cars during the 2010 Rally Sokndal.
