I'm looking at a mk1 escort not far away from me on ebay . My question is , did the earlier ones have rear struts that where at a angle , and did the later ones have verticle rear struts . Its a 72 on a K plate with the angles ones but should it not have the later ones if I'm not mistaken , or am i getting mixed up ?

Mk1 Escort didn't have rear struts
They are rear wheel drive with leaf springs, so I'm a bit confused with the question :-)

Hi, Yes the telescopic dampers were angled into the car at the top.

My mk1 is a 73. It had the slope and hope rear shocks where they are angled at about 45° and attach to a really weak bolt on cross member. I've now fitted vertical towers. The last of the mk 1s or mk 1.5s were fitted with the mk2 set up where the shock is more vertical and bolts straight to the body shell.

That's funny because my 72 had vertical shocks. Was a 4 door if that makes a difference. Maybe it was on a dodgey logbook
