Hachette 1982 Ford Escort GL White – 1:43 Die-Cast “Unforgettable Cars” Series – New in Display Case

Description:
Add a piece of European automotive history to your collection with this Hachette 1:43 scale model of the 1982 Ford Escort GL. Part of Hachette’s “Unforgettable Cars” series, this die-cast model faithfully captures the clean, practical design and charm of one of Ford’s most successful models of the 1980s.

The Ford Escort Mk3 (produced from 1980 to 1986) represented a major shift for Ford — introducing front-wheel drive and a more aerodynamic hatchback design that made it a sales hit across Europe. The Escort GL was one of the most popular trims, offering upgraded interior comforts and Ford’s reliable CVH engine. Its compact size, fuel efficiency, and versatility made it a favorite among families and commuters, while sportier versions like the XR3i cemented the Escort’s reputation in motorsport and rallying.

This collectible model perfectly reflects the simplicity and character of the real 1982 Ford Escort GL. It remains brand new, still mounted on its display stand, and housed in its original protective plastic case. The magazine that originally accompanied it is not included, but the model itself is in pristine, display-ready condition.
