It was a significant evolution compared to the Escort Mk 1 that debuted at Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. It used the same reliable mechanical components as the Mk 1 but adop... moreted a new design based on a squared-style look which was part of the aesthetic and stylistic taste of the '70s. The product was available in three body styles (2 doors, 4 doors and 3 doors station wagon), five type of engine, and a significant variety of settings and configurations. The Escort Mk 2 was mainly produced in the Ford Group German plants and achieved good commercial success.
