Red Ford Escort Mk1 rally build on a mountain road

SS3 · THE CARS · MST · SAFARI SPECIFICATION

The Escort.

MST build them. Minti holds the exclusive regional partnership.

New and original, to Safari specification. Same parts book, same build standard, and a workshop in Nairobi that has torqued every fastener.

Where a car is a new build rather than an original Ford shell, we say so in its papers and in person.

Escort Mk1.

The original shape. Light, direct, and honest about everything the road is doing.

Escort Mk2.

More room, more strength, the same balance. The car the 2027 seat is built on.

    Strength before speed.

    Underbody protection, raised suspension, cooling for equatorial heat.

    Safety, current spec.

    Cage, seats, harnesses and extinguisher systems. The period look stops at the paint.

    Shakedown, signed off.

    Every car earns its start on private murram before your name goes on the door.
