Interesting little video Gene, it had some clips from the Ford video that someone else posted.
I didn’t realise that some mark 1s had lamp wipers.
What dates the Ford video is where they make a huge amount about what we now think are insignificant features like column stalks or integrated indicators.

Great video Gene. Watch it briefly on the computer - so downloaded it to watch on the big TV!
Anyone notice the number plate on shot of the car directly after the Granada TV promo?

Yes, also NHK appears on the mk1 Escort in the clip. Although we never saw 293 in The Sweeney, we saw 292 in 'Jackpot'. Sam.

The video really shows how the design went downhill after the mark 1. The second was only just ok, the third was a giant Sierra, the fourth shouldn’t be mentioned.
