The Mk1 Escort Continuation-Ford Icons Announced

Client: DRVN Automotive Group

Photographer: Sam Chick

With the blessing of Ford Motor Co., Boreham Motorworks and DRVN Automotive Group are to bring back the iconic Mk1 Ford Escort with a ‘Continuation’ series, meaning the new models will follow on from the chassis numbers of the last car built in the 1960’s.

We worked alongside photographer Sam Chick in the studio, to create this set of teaser images, with the new model under wraps next to an original Ford Works rally car.
