Ford Escort is a car 'nobody else could build'

Boreham Motorworks is finishing a £354k continuation of the Mk1 Ford Escort, with deliveries scheduled to begin in early next year. The car—retro-styled, sub-tonne, and a two-door—will be produced with Ford’s official blessing as Boreham builds on a series of continuation models backed by the brand. The Mk1 RS, revealed in final production form, is the first of this series and follows Boreham’s confirmed reinterpretation of the RS200 Group B rally car. Boreham is also running a test mule to develop its bespoke “Ten-K” engine that redlines at 10,000rpm. Production is capped at 10 cars for 2027 and 150 total, aiming to isolate early-life issues.
