Duke Video preview featuring Ford Escorts on the 1970 World Cup and 1977 Lombard RAC Rally

Stunning digitally remastered footage, by Duke Video, of Ford Motor Company's competition department tackling the 1970 World Cup and '77 RAC rallies.

The clip opens with an iconic sequence featuring Mick Jones and Stuart Turner (from behind bars in Chile!) dispensing advice to Tony Fall during the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally.

Action then switches to the 1977 Lombard RAC Rally where we see Roger Clark, sideways as ever, beautifully guiding the Daily Express sponsored Ford Escort RS1800 around the stately homes and through the forests of Great Britain.

Event winner Bjorn Waldegard is next up in the British Airways backed Escort and there is a wonderful shot of him, filmed from a cliff top, on the Great Orme stage to conclude the trailer.
