About the Ford Escort II RS1800 #6 R. Clark / J. Pegg RAC Rally Winner 1976 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Escort II RS1800 #6 reproduces Roger Clark and J. Pegg's works car, winner of the 1976 RAC Rally outright. The Escort RS1800's wide arches, raised ride height, and works livery mark it as the benchmark rally Ford of its era.

Roger Clark's win on the 1976 RAC Rally stands among the most celebrated home victories in British rallying, a result that cemented the Escort RS1800's reputation as the works Ford team's benchmark weapon.

Ford Escort RS1800: Works Rallying's Benchmark Mk2

The BDA Engine and Boreham's Preparation

The Escort RS1800 took the Mk2 Escort's compact, lightweight shell and fitted it with the 1.8-liter BDA engine, a Cosworth-designed 16-valve unit that gave Ford's works team the power to match Lancia and Fiat's more exotic rivals through the mid-1970s. Ford's Boreham-run competition department flared the arches for wider rally tires, raised the ride height for rough-road clearance, and stripped the interior for a full roll cage and rally instrumentation.

The Program's Peak Years

That combination made the Escort RS1800 the backbone of Ford's works program through the second half of the decade, a period when the RAC Rally carried genuine prestige on the world championship calendar. Rivals from Fiat and Lancia leaned on more exotic layouts later in the decade, but through the mid-1970s the Escort's simple, well-honed formula proved just as effective on rough-road events.

Minichamps' Diecast Rendering of the Works Rally Stance

Stance, Wheels, and Livery Print

Getting a rally Escort's stance right starts with the wheel-to-arch relationship, and this casting sits the wide rally tires correctly within the flared bodywork rather than tucking them too far inboard. The works livery's red, white, and black graphics print sharp and flat across the door panels and bonnet, with the number 6 and event decals showing clean edges.

Opening Features and Their Trade-Off

Diecast construction lets the doors and hood open to reveal a simplified but recognizable rally interior, including a roll cage impression behind the front seats. That approach costs a small amount of surface precision compared with a sealed resin casting, but for a rally car whose interior transformation is part of the story, opening it up adds real display value.

Roger Clark and Ford's Home Rally Triumph

A Home Win With Real Weight

Roger Clark was British rallying's most recognized name through the 1970s, a Boreham-trained driver whose career was closely tied to Ford's works Escorts. The RAC Rally, run across Britain's forestry stages in often brutal weather, was as much a test of stamina as pace, and this 1976 win with co-driver J. Pegg reinforced the RS1800's status as the works team's dominant tool. At roughly 21 centimeters, the Escort's compact proportions read true to the real car's modest dimensions, a reminder that this was a production-based rally weapon rather than a bespoke machine.
