About the Ford Escort Mk2 RS 1800 #6 B. Waldegård / H-T. Thorszelius Ford Motor Co Winners Acropolis Rally 1977 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces the #6 Ford Escort Mk2 RS 1800 that won the 1977 Acropolis Rally for the Ford Motor Co works team, driven by Björn Waldegård with Hans Thorszelius co-driving. A confirmed world-championship-era rally win, built with tampo-printed works graphics for serious WRC collectors.

The Acropolis Rally's rough Greek gravel stages broke plenty of cars before the finish, which makes an outright win there worth more than most.

A Works Escort Built for Rough Gravel Racing

Ford's Escort Mk2 RS 1800, campaigned directly by Ford Motor Co's works rally team, carried the twin-cam BDA engine that made it one of the most successful rally cars of its era, and this diecast holds that works-team livery with sharp, correctly registered graphics along the car's flared arches. The raised ride height and underbody protection that gravel rallying demanded are visible in the model's stance, distinct from the lower, road-biased proportions a tarmac-only livery would show. Doors open on this build, exposing a stripped, roll-caged interior behind the works Escort's period dashboard, and the auxiliary lighting mounted across the front grille sits correctly for a car built to run rough stages after dark.

Björn Waldegård and a Genuine Championship-Era Win

Björn Waldegård was among the most successful rally drivers of his generation, and this Acropolis Rally victory sits within Ford's broader run of works Escort success through the late 1970s. A confirmed win, rather than a generic works-liveried entry, gives this diecast documented significance for anyone building a World Rally Championship-era collection. Displayed alongside other Escort Mk2 liveries from Ford's works program, this Acropolis winner represents one of the harder-fought results in the car's competitive history.
