Overview

From a humble family saloon built to bring affordable motoring to postwar Europe, the Ford Escort grew into one of the most successful and beloved cars the world has ever known. From Mexico to Cosworth: How the Ford Escort Conquered the World traces this remarkable journey-from the boardrooms of Dagenham and Cologne to the rally stages of Kenya, Monte Carlo, and Finland. The Escort's story is one of ambition, innovation, and sheer versatility. It was a car that served the everyday commuter as faithfully as it carried world-class rally champions to victory. With its simple engineering, balanced handling, and adaptability, the Escort bridged social classes and crossed continents, becoming an industrial backbone and a motorsport icon in equal measure. This definitive chronicle captures the Escort's evolution through six decades of design, production, and cultural impact. From the early Twin Cam and Mexico to the fire-breathing RS Cosworth, every milestone is explored through factual narrative and historical depth. The book celebrates not just the Escort's technical brilliance but also its human story-the workers who built it, the drivers who raced it, and the millions who owned and loved it. Meticulously researched and richly detailed, From Mexico to Cosworth is the essential account of how a modest Ford became a global phenomenon-part of the fabric of everyday life, and forever etched into the history of motoring.
