About the Ford Escort RS 1600 Mk1 #10 H. Mikkola / J. Davenport RAC Rally 1974 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 Ford Escort RS1600 Mk1, #10 Hannu Mikkola and John Davenport, reproduces their entry at the 1974 RAC Rally in diecast. A British rally classic built around a driver who later became a world champion, tying the model to genuine WRC era heritage.

The RAC Rally holds a special place in British motorsport history, and the Mk1 Escort's success on its forest stages helped cement Ford's rallying reputation through the 1970s.

Diecast Build on a Homologation Special

The RS1600's flared arches and bonnet mounted spotlights are period correct rally details, and diecast construction gives them a solidity that suits a car built to survive forest stages rather than showroom polish. Panel gaps around the arches sit tighter than budget diecast typically achieves, and the livery's sponsor and number decals are applied with clean registration across the bonnet and doors. Metal construction gives the model genuine weight in the hand, appropriate for a rally car whose whole purpose was rugged durability rather than delicate presentation. Checking the spotlight mounts and arch flares under direct light is a fair first inspection when the model arrives.

A Piece of Genuine British Rally History

Mikkola went on to become a world rally champion, and his early Escort outings on home soil British events like the RAC Rally carry real documented weight for collectors tracing the sport's roots. This particular livery ties directly to a specific, named 1974 entry rather than a generic period colour scheme. At 1:18, the Escort's compact, boxy rally proportions sit well within a standard cabinet, and grouping it with other Mk1 and Mk2 Escort rally liveries builds a coherent Ford rallying theme. As diecast, the model tolerates handling better than a sealed resin piece, though the decal work still benefits from careful dusting rather than direct wiping. For anyone following British rallying's golden era, this Mikkola liveried Escort is a genuinely well grounded addition.
