The Escort made its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968, after reaching Ireland and Britain at the end of 1967, and it was presented as the first passenger car developed by the merged Ford of Europe. Production was under way at Halewood in England, and a two door estate joined the two door saloon at the end of March. Left hand drive cars for the Continent began to be built in September at Ford's plant at Genk in Belgium. It raced as the Twin Cam in the British Saloon Car Championship from this season.
