| Description |
JN9559 This is a very clean and well looked after Mk2 Escort, originally bought new in the Christchurch area sometime in 1980. The Mk2 Escort was assembled locally at Ford's plant in Wiri, South Auckland, and was until being replaced by the badge-engineered Ford Laser (a Mazda 323 with slightly different styling) in 1981. It was cheaper to badge-engineer than continue to sell the Escort in Mk3 form. Some Mk3s have found their way here though, mainly imported from England and mainland Europe. The Escort returned to NZ in 1996 in Mk6 form, initially only as an estate, as the Laser was still available as a hatchback and sedan.When local assembly of the Laser ceased in 1997, Ford New Zealand switched to importing the Escort hatchback and saloon, but then switched back to the Laser in 1999, as importing the Focus from Europe was then unviable. The Escort estate, however, remained on sale in New Zealand until early 2001. We finally received the Focus new in 2003, five years after its introduction in Europe in 1998! |
