Yup I used to have one - till I wrote it off! Was bright red.

All it had was the badge - they didnt to my knowledge have any of the GTI kit on as I had to add that stuff myself. Just a 1.6 16v.

They had white dials. Crappy steelies, and an athsmatic 1.6 16v zetec. They were a cash in for the 25 year anniversary of an escort winning the London - Mexico rally. They were cack TBH.

The colour of my car is probably rarer than a Mk6 mexico.

Theres loads of shades of green for a MK6 but i have never seen one the same colour as mine anyone know how i can get the proper name for the colour?

mr manchester im 99.9% sure your colour is called autumn green

as for mexicos, theyre just a basic escort with white dials, spoiler, silly style wheel trims, and electric windows and central locking, sunroof. options were front fog lights.

they come in 4 colours- radiant red, tourmallard green, petrol blue and ash black.

of the exact same spec ford also made a gti special edition. but this had colour coded bumpers, 14inch star style alloy wheels and all were 96N's

how cack lol
