Corgi Vanguards Die-Cast Series
Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000, Merseyside Police (1/43) VA14904
This highly detailed 1/43 scale die-cast model captures the Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 as used by Merseyside Police in the early 1980s. As urban vehicle crime increased, compact yet powerful cars like the RS2000 became essential for fast-paced patrol and pursuit duties. This model replicates one of 15 vehicles supplied by local RS dealer Blakes and put into service at Smithdown Lane Police Station in January 1981.
- 1/43 scale die-cast replica of the RS2000 patrol car
- Authentic Merseyside Police livery and interior detailing
- Based on a real vehicle restored to police specification
- Original car served from 1981 to 1983, then used in road rallying
- Owned and restored by a former Humberside Police officer
The original vehicle was sold in 1983 and later rediscovered online by retired officer Graham Carter, who recognised its number plate and restored it with period-correct brown interior, livery, and original wheels. This model stands as a tribute to both British policing history and Ford’s contribution to high-performance utility vehicles during a time of major social and automotive change.
