Oof: MST Mk1 EVO breaks cover, costs £195k
MST Cars has unveiled the Mk1 EVO, a high-performance version of the classic Ford Escort priced at £195,000. The vehicle features significant chassis upgrades, including independent rear suspension and WRC-specification components.
Why it matters
It represents a niche market trend of 'restomodding' classic vehicles with modern racing technology for high-end collectors.
Back in 2024, at the PH Annual Service no less, you might recall MST Cars revealing something called the Evo-X. On the one hand, it was an homage to the Ford Series-X catalogue - or the outlandish Escorts that resulted from its pages, at any rate. Despite being unfinished at the time, the Mk2 left quite the impression: a) because it was in yellow, and had the sort of monster-arch body kit you assume you’re going to see everyone driving in heaven, and b) it was offered with a choice of engines (each sillier than the last), and a seriously uprated chassis, too.
