Dinky Toys 168 Ford Escort

The Dinky Toys 168 Ford Escort, released between 1968 and 1977, is an iconic scale model that perfectly captures the charm of the first generation Ford Escort. Introduced by Ford in 1968, the Ford Escort quickly became a favourite with European motorists due to its affordability, reliability and sporty performance. The Escort quickly became a symbol of the popular compact family car of the time.

This particular model, produced during the first production run, is special because of its red metallic colour, a shade that gives the model a striking and refined appearance. The Dinky model has been designed with great attention to detail, beautifully expressing the sleek lines and sporty character of the real Escort.

The example is in very nice condition, which is a rare phenomenon for a model that is over 50 years old. The model retains its shine and paint details excellently. In addition, it comes with the original box in very good condition, adding to its value and appeal to collectors.

The Dinky Toys 168 Ford Escort in Red Metallic is a beautiful piece of history that reflects both the technological advances and the aesthetic preferences of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is a worthy addition to any classic Dinky Toys collection and a tribute to an era of iconic motoring. Made in England.
