Ford MKII RS2000

A British classic from the 70s turned into a collector's item in 1:32 scale

The Ford MKII RS2000 from Team Slot (reference TSSRE28) is a special edition designed for the UK market, limited to just 400 numbered units. Each car includes its individual serial number, making it a collectible item with its own identity within Team Slot's catalogue, a benchmark brand in high-fidelity classic slot racing.

Features and highlights

• Limited and numbered edition: only 400 units manufactured, exclusive to the UK market.
• 1:32 scale, standard compatible with major track systems.
• Lightweight body that faithfully reproduces the lines of the Ford Escort MKII, including the distinctive droopsnoot front end of the RS2000.
• Exceptional paint and tampo printing finish, consistent with the level of a special collector's edition.
• Chassis and motor specific to Team Slot, with a configuration aimed at agile and balanced driving.

Scale and level of detail

Team Slot is a Spanish brand recognised for its meticulous reproduction of classic racing and touring cars. In this reference, the bodywork accurately captures the proportions of the Escort MKII in its RS2000 version: the low and rounded nose that defined the model's aesthetics, the integrated front headlights, and the clean, muscular rear end. The specific decoration for the UK edition reinforces its exclusive and distinctive character compared to the rest of the catalogue.

Track performance

Beyond its value as a display piece, the TSSRE28 is ready to run. The Team Slot chassis provides a solid base for basic tuning adjustments, and the weight distribution of the Escort MKII —with its rear-wheel drive— invites dynamic driving on club circuits or classic rally stages. If you prefer to enjoy the car on track rather than storing it, this model performs without issue.

Ideal for…

• Collectors seeking limited and numbered editions with brand backing.
• Classic slot racing enthusiasts wanting to add a British icon from the 70s to their collection.
• Club drivers who combine the pleasure of racing with the value of owning a rare piece.
• Followers of the history of the Ford Escort in European motorsport.

Points to consider

As a limited edition of only 400 units originally intended for the UK market, availability in the general market is very limited. Once stock is depleted, no restock is planned. If you have questions about compatibility with your setup or need additional information about the chassis, you can contact our team at Ministry of Hobby.

The Ford Escort MKII RS2000, an icon of its time

The second-generation Ford Escort RS2000 arrived in 1976 with a clear proposition: accessible sports performance wrapped in a design that broke with convention. The droopsnoot front —taken from the first-generation RS2000— made it unmistakable on the road and on the circuits. In the UK, the Escort became a benchmark for grassroots motorsport and production championships, forging a legion of followers that remains active decades later. Drivers like Roger Clark and Ari Vatanen contributed to elevating the Escort's legend in rallies and European circuits, demonstrating that the combination of lightness, rear-wheel drive, and RS engine was a winning formula.

Frequently asked questions

How many units were produced of this edition?

The run is 400 numbered units, manufactured exclusively for the UK market. Each car includes its individual serial number.
