It was named after its victory in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally.

The vehicle has been in fantastic condition since the late 1990s and boasts correct Black PVC upholstery, with original factory-fitted 140mph speedometer and 8,000rpm rev counter.

And it’s easy on the eye too.

Finished in its original Sunset Red and white, the motor has only had four previous owners.

The car is fitted with a 4-cylinder 1600 GT crossflow engine with the 711M block providing 86bhp.

Adrenaline junkies will be happy to hear that you can clock speeds of 60mph in just under 11 seconds and a top speed of 110mph.

Petrol heads will need to rock up Stoneleigh Park, Coventry on February 22, where the classic motor will be sold off by Iconic Auctioneers.

“The car also retains the original boot mat and incredibly the rear cardboard boot spring protector is present along with black light protectors which remain undamaged,” reads the listing.

“The jack and wheel brace are within the original fawn muslin bag held down by the correct rubber band.

“The model will be presented with an accompanying comprehensive history file that contains two large booklets spanning the entire life of the car from the initial Order Form in 1972 through to the latest service using Ford Motorcraft items in July 2024.

“There are also historic MOT Certificates, the original service book, maintenance invoices and many AVO Club Valuations, including an early one from Mexico Registrar, Andy Percival, for £2,750.

“Also present are many photos of the meticulous restoration carried out in the late 1990s, which is also magazine-featured, and is a testament to how well the car presents today over two decades later.

“This model is fitted with the correct pressed steel wheels with the cooling slots measuring 5.5 x 13in immaculate chrome hubcaps, and a matching set of Goodyear GT Sport 175/70 R13.

“The remote servo-assisted brakes powered by the early Girling Powerstop AHV 550 Mk2A help grip the front discs and the rear drums more than adequately.

“This remarkable Sunset Red Mexico would be an asset to any enthusiast of these era-defining, characterful, sporting Fords.”

Meanwhile,

Racing Legend Michael Schumacher‘s first Ferrari is going on sale on February 4.

His Ferrari F355 GTS retains its original chassis, bodywork, and gearbox.

The Ferrari is fitted with a traditional six-gear manual gearbox, which was a preference made by Schumacher.

This offered a welcome departure from the high-intensity demands of F1, gifting the F355 GTS a personal touch that won’t be found on other models.

And Enzo Ferrari’s personal car also recently went up for auction for a staggering price.

The 1962 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 prototype coupe Pininfarina is thought to be only one of two in existence.
