Joe's MK2 Ford Escort

An evening spent cruising the Fylde Coast with Joe and his beautifully presented Mk2 Ford Escort. Starting in Fleetwood and making our way through Cleveleys before finishing in Blackpool, we took advantage of the changing light and coastal scenery to create a collection of images that suited the character of this iconic classic Ford perfectly. The Mk2 Ford Escort remains one of the most recognisable and loved classic cars on British roads, and Joe's example is a testament to why these cars continue to have such a loyal following. With its timeless styling and unmistakable presence, it felt right at home against the backdrop of the Lancashire coastline. Rather than rushing between locations, we spent the evening enjoying the drive, stopping whenever the light, surroundings or atmosphere caught our attention. From quiet seafront roads in Fleetwood to the colourful lights of Blackpool as the sun began to disappear, each location brought something different to the shoot. As a classic car photographer, these are the sessions I enjoy most—combining great cars, interesting locations and a relaxed approach that allows the story of the evening to unfold naturally. The Fylde Coast provided the perfect setting for photographing this Mk2 Ford Escort, with a mix of coastal views, urban details and open roads all within a few miles of each other. The resulting images capture not only a stunning Ford Escort Mk2 but also the experience of spending an evening behind the wheel of a true motoring icon. For anyone interested in classic Ford photography, automotive photography, or classic car photography on the Fylde Coast, this gallery showcases exactly why these cars continue to turn heads decades after they first left the factory.
