Andy’s Mk1 Escort is the January feature car in the Official MH 2026 Calendar, selected for its presence, character, and the real story behind the build.
Bold and purposeful, this bubble-arched Mk1 Escort blends classic Ford styling with modern performance thanks to its 2.0 Zetec engine. The wide arches give the car an aggressive, motorsport-inspired stance, while the Zetec powerplant delivers reliable, usable performance that makes the car just as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at. It’s a build that respects the heritage of the Mk1 Escort while embracing sensible modern upgrades.
There’s more to this car than aesthetics alone. After being involved in an unfortunate collision and sustaining significant damage, the Escort could easily have been parked up or written off. Instead, it was repaired, rebuilt, and brought back to life — a clear reflection of Andy’s commitment to the car. Today, it’s back on the road and being enjoyed as intended.
• • This January Calendar Car Collection features clothing and other products inspired by Andy’s Mk1 Escort and will only be available for a short period following the monthly feature. Once the collection closes, it will not be restocked — making this a limited opportunity directly connected to the Official MH 2026 Calendar.
