About the Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 #9 R. Clark / S. Porter Tour of Britain 1976 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 MCG diecast reproduces the Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 #9 driven by Roger Clark and Stuart Porter at the 1976 Tour of Britain. Built in zinc alloy with period Ford Motorsport livery, it captures one of British rallying's most celebrated driver and car combinations.

Roger Clark remains one of British rallying's most recognized names, and the Mk2 Escort RS2000 is closely tied to his legacy as one of the era's dominant homegrown talents.

Reproducing an Icon of British Rallying

The Mk2 Escort's boxy, upright proportions look plain next to later rally shapes, but that simplicity is part of the appeal, and MCG's model keeps the panel lines crisp along the bonnet and wheel arches without the flares later homologation specials would eventually add. Ford Motorsport's period livery, typically a mix of white bodywork with bold sponsor and number graphics, is reproduced with sharp tampo registration, important on a car whose visual identity depends heavily on those simple, high-contrast decals rather than complex bodywork. The zinc alloy construction gives the model real weight, and the interior reflects the stripped, function-first cabin any rally-prepared Escort ran, with a roll cage and rally-spec seats visible through the door openings.

Roger Clark and the RS2000's Rally Heritage

Roger Clark built his reputation across multiple seasons of British and international rallying, and the RS2000's homologated performance upgrades over standard Escort models made it a genuine weapon in national and European rally competition through the 1970s. Tour of Britain events of this era brought together the country's top rally talent on domestic roads, and Clark's participation, paired here with co-driver Stuart Porter, represents a genuine slice of that competitive scene rather than a manufactured showcase entry.

This model suits a collection built around British rally heritage or Ford's long-running Escort competition history, and it pairs naturally with later Escort WRC entries to trace the model's evolution across generations.
