We have another review and it's another slot car review. I will be adding a fair few more slot car reviews soon. I have the new Aston Martin Vantage ready and I am awaiting the BMW Z4, so there's plenty to come. Today we have a loan car from MCSLOTS and it's a classic, the Ford Escort MK1.
This model is from 1970 Calder Park and is driven by Alan Moffat.
Allan Moffat.
Allan Moffat was born in November 10th 1939. He retired in 1989. He has two sons and a wife. Allan Moffat was active in the years 1965-89 and raced for Allan Moffat racing. He made 100 starts and won 32 races. Almost a third of all races he entered! He won the 1973, 1976, 1977 and 1983 Australian Touring car championship. He also won the Bathurst 1000 four times in 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1977. In 1999 he was honoured in the V8 Supercar "Hall of Fame". 
Ford Escort MK1.
The Mk I was produced by Ford Australia from 1970 to 1975 as a two- or four-door saloon and as a two-door panel van. 1100 cc and 1300 cc engines were offered, as was the 1558 cc twin cam unit, the last only in the Escort Twin Cam model, which was renamed the Escort GT 1600 in late 1971. Some 67,146 examples of the Mk I were built in Australia, with local sourcing bringing the Australian content of the vehicles to 85 per cent.
The Model.
This model has several features that consistently appear on most Scalextric models. - Quick change braids
- Magnets
- Rear working lights
- Front working lights
- Digital plug ready
- High detail
The car also has an inline Formula 1 style motor and has a power output of 18000 rpm.
My thoughts.
The car looks great. It has a great colour scheme featuring the Ford blue and the car has some nice decals, such as Coca Cola and Ford. The Driver can be seen in the car as well which is always a nice touch. This car is a classic and I am not much of a classic collector however, I can see how this would appeal to any Ford fan or a Classic Australian Touring car fan. If you fall into these criteria then this car is worth adding to your collection. The car come Digital ready, meaning a quick 60 second chip installation will allow to run up to 6 of these cars on one track!!
You can BUY this car from Mcslots!!
