Default Escort Escapee

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum so this is my first post . Just wondering if anyone would have or know of anyone that has a 1977 Escort Escapee. Im guessing the experts will know what i am referring to. They were the mid/late 1977 escorts that were dolled up with the 'go fast' red and yellow rally replica stripes and a few other minor RS cosmetic bits (steering wheel/boot spoiler/split bumpers/driving lights/matching white RS style steel wheels). They were all white (black bonnet) and only a base 'L' model.
I used to have one meany years ago and im wondering if any have survived. Im pretty sure mine didnt.
Appreciate any feedback ... !

Hi Roy,

I'd be really keen to see some surviving examples

Sorry I haven't responded earlier, there's not to much info about Aussie Escorts around. We a info about models and production in our club forum, other than that get a copy of "Escorts Down Under" from the (Spotlight On) series it deals with all the Australian Escorts. We will have a big display of Escorts at the Sydney All Ford Day this Sunday or our Concourse & Display Day on the 9th of November.

My cousin had one, wrecked it.
From memory they were all 1.6litre.
Not really desirable.
