Donc on est d'accord: première présentation en septembre 1980, donc pour l'année-modèle 1981! ;)

BTW,I say 1980-1989 as production years for MkIII Escort,not 1980-1986 as says jplemoine,'cause but if they had got a restyling in 1986,had the same 1980 coque still(outside were redone only bumpers,headlights,grille,bonnet hatch and some other small details,but that's still Mk III,at least"Phase 2",with CVH engine series),lasted until 1989 and replaced since 1990 by new MkIV generation's Escort

I wouldn´t say mistake, it´s just different ways of looking at it. But it often comes to discussions on the subject so I´ve put down some thoughts about it on the Forum: Link to "forum.imcdb.org"

I have an '82 Escort (similar to the one above, but in red) and it was built in Dagenham in the UK.
