Description
Description
Corgi Vanguards captures one of the oldest surviving UK-market Escort RS2000s at 1:43: a Saarlouis-built car first registered in January 1976 and still on its original panels.
Carnival Red with a black roof and side stripe, plus Corgi's reproduction of the original Beta Cloth interior, makes this a portrait of one RS2000, not a catalogue colour.
For a Mk2 Escort shelf, it brings traceable history: an RAF Dishforth first owner, a long-term enthusiast keeper since 1996, and a place in the book Factory-Original Sporting Mk2 Escorts.

Era describes when this item itself was printed, produced or manufactured—not the age of what it depicts. A brand-new item can still represent a vintage or classic design; where shown, check Represented Era for that distinction.
Represented Era describes the real-world period of the character, vehicle or subject this item depicts—not when the item itself was made. A modern release can represent a vintage or classic design; where shown, check Era for when this specific item was produced.
Scale compares the model's size to the real object. A larger second number means a smaller model—for example, 1:64 is smaller than 1:18. Check the listed dimensions for the exact size of the model.
At 1:43, 1 cm on this model stands for 43 cm on the real thing.
