  • Any pics of mk2 1600 sport , Phoenix ( vista ) orange?

    As above , I'm led to believe that all the first 1600 sports issued to dealers were Phoenix orange (vista Orange) , some with vynal roofs some without , anybody got any pics or literature showing them?

    Thanks Paul

      I assume Paul means the earliest ones.
      I have a March '75 build Mk2 and it is probably Vista/Phoenix orange as it retains a mk1 heater box, grey wiring loom and the old style ignition barrel. The early mk2s were basically carryover mk1s including parts and colours.

                    Here's a pic from the 1975 Ford Escort workshop manual (in German) confirming that many of the early Mk2 colours were carryover mk1 colours, i.e. Modena, Olympic, Phönix (Phoenix)/ Vista etc...
