The MkI featured contemporary styling cues in tune with its time: a subtle Detroit-inspired "Coke bottle" waistline and the "dogbone" shaped front grille. They became successful as a rally car, and they eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time. Arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally and this gave rise to the Escort Mexico special edition road versions in honour of the rally car.
