About the Ford Escort Mk2 RS 1800 #9 R. Clark / S. Wilson Li-Lo Equipe Esso Lombard RAC Rally 1978 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Ford Escort Mk2 RS1800 reproduces the #9 Li-Lo Equipe Esso entry driven by Roger Clark and Stuart Wilson on the 1978 Lombard RAC Rally. Roger Clark was one of Britain's most celebrated rally drivers of the era.

British rally fans of the 1970s had few names bigger than Roger Clark, and the Escort was the car most associated with his home-soil success. This diecast captures a specific 1978 RAC Rally entry rather than a generic Escort silhouette.

Livery Detail Built Around a Specific Entry

The Li-Lo Equipe Esso sponsorship graphics and #9 car number are positioned correctly across the doors and roof, giving this Escort Mk2 documented identity rather than a stand-in rally look. Minichamps' diecast build carries the weight and opening-door construction typical of the brand's current motorsport range, with the auxiliary spotlights, mud flaps, and rally-spec skid protection that RAC Rally regulations effectively required on the event's demanding forest stages. The RS1800's flared arches and vented bonnet, functional features rather than styling flourishes on the real car, come through with correct proportion, and the finish captures the slightly weathered, hard-worked look period rally liveries tended to have rather than a showroom gloss.

Roger Clark's Standing in British Rallying

Roger Clark, paired here with co-driver Stuart Wilson, built his reputation as one of the most popular British rally drivers of his generation, closely associated with Ford's works Escort program through the 1970s. The RAC Rally, run on demanding British forest stages, was the home event where his following was strongest.

A Home-Hero Piece for a Rally Collection

Set alongside other Escort liveries from Ford's works program, this Clark entry adds a specifically British chapter to a broader 1970s rally shelf.
