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 reproduces the number 1 Ford Escort Mk2 RS 1800 driven by Timo Mäkinen and Henry Liddon to outright victory on the 1975 Lombard RAC Rally, entered by Allied Polymer Group. A well-documented British rally-winning subject with genuine home-motorsport pedigree.

The Lombard RAC Rally was Britain's biggest rallying event through the 1970s, run on forest stages that rewarded exactly the kind of car the Escort RS1800 had become by 1975: light, tough, and genuinely quick.

Minichamps' Livery Work on a Works-Level Escort

Minichamps reproduces the Allied Polymer Group livery with the kind of clean sponsor-graphic work that period rally cars actually carried, rather than the smudged decals cheaper diecast often settles for. The number 1 sits large and legible on the doors and roof, correct for a car running at the front of the field, and the flared wheel arches, a genuine Escort RS1800 works modification, house wide rally tyres properly rather than leaving a gap that would look wrong on a forest-stage car. Underbody detail and the rally-spec ride height give the model an honest stance, low enough to look purposeful but not lowered like a road car.

Mäkinen and Liddon's 1975 RAC Win

By 1975, Timo Mäkinen was already one of rallying's established names, having taken his first major international win a decade earlier at the wheel of a Mini Cooper on the Monte Carlo Rally, and by the mid-1970s he had shifted to Ford's Escort programme with real success. Partnered by co-driver Henry Liddon, Mäkinen took this Allied Polymer Group-entered Escort RS1800 to outright victory on the 1975 Lombard RAC Rally, one of two RAC wins he took in an Escort during the decade. The RAC Rally carried genuine national weight, not merely a class result buried in a wider field.

British Rallying's Home Motorsport Pride

For British collectors specifically, a Lombard RAC Rally winner sits at the centre of home motorsport heritage. Paired with other 1970s Escort liveries, this piece anchors a display built around the RS1800's genuine works-level success on British soil.
