Boreham Motorworks has announced the launch date of its all-new Ford Escort Mk1, a modern reimagining of the iconic and extremely well-loved model. On Thursday 12th December 2024, at 9am, the car will finally be revealed for the first time.
The new model will pay tribute to the Escort’s RS lineage and has been designed to combine classic charm with modern performance.
“At DRVN, we understand that true automotive passion comes from the connection between driver and machine – a relationship forged in the sound, feel, and response of a car designed to be driven. The Ford Escort Mk1 embodies this ethos, blending timeless design with performance that inspires confidence and joy. We design for the road, not the runway. We embrace everything drivers love about cars.”
Iain Muir, DRVN Automotive Group CEO
One For The Purists
Boreham Motorworks is determined to keep the spirit of the original Escort so the new MK1 will be powered exclusively by petrol engines paired with a manual gearbox. There will be no hybrid or electric options.
The company said: “Our heritage guides us, and our future insists upon it. We won’t cancel our heritage; we will evolve it.”
The new Escort MK1 has been given the powerful title of the “One True Descendant,” and will no doubt get lots of attention in just over a week’s time.
