About the Ford Escort Mk2 RS 1800 #1 T. Mäkinen / H. Liddon Allied Polymer Group Winners Lombard RAC Rally 1975 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Escort Mk2 RS1800 reproduces the #1 Allied Polymer Group works car that Timo Mäkinen and Henry Liddon drove to victory on the 1975 Lombard RAC Rally. Correct livery and works-team detailing define this piece as a specific race-winning car, not a generic Escort.

A rally diecast lives or dies on livery accuracy, since the whole point of owning it is recognizing the exact car and the exact result it delivered. Minichamps' Escort carries the sponsorship colors and car number from a genuine RAC Rally win.

Getting a Specific Works Livery Right

Reproducing a rally car accurately means more than getting the base color correct. Minichamps' Escort Mk2 carries the Allied Polymer Group sponsorship graphics and the #1 car number in their correct positions on the doors and roof, along with the auxiliary lighting bar and mud flaps that period rally regulations effectively demanded on gravel-heavy events like the RAC. The diecast build gives the model genuine weight in hand, with opening doors and a hood that reveals a period-appropriate engine bay rather than a blanked panel. Rally cars also wore visible wear and mechanical exposure that road cars didn't, and the model's underbody detailing and skid-plate elements reflect that harder-working purpose rather than a showroom finish.

A Genuine RAC Rally Victory Behind the Livery

Timo Mäkinen, one of the era's most accomplished rally drivers, paired with co-driver Henry Liddon to win the 1975 Lombard RAC Rally in this Escort Mk2 RS1800, a car and event combination that sat at the heart of Ford's works rally program through the mid-1970s. The RAC Rally's demanding gravel and forest stages made it one of the toughest events on the calendar, which gives any win there real weight.

A Cornerstone for a Ford Works Rally Collection

Alongside other Escort RS1800 liveries from the same era, this Mäkinen car anchors a collection built around Ford's dominant mid-1970s rally program.
