Other conversions then followed - Coachwork Conversions Freedom Camper (1969), C&W Conversions Nimbus Deluxe (1972). In 1970 the Elba GT was launched, with Willment-tuned Cortina 1600 GT engine and Rostyles, and in 1973 a one-off Escort Mexico Canterbury Siesta was built by Ford AVO in Copper Brown metallic with 4-spoke RS alloys and front quarter bumpers (XVX 222L); they'd also built 3 Mexico estates and a Mexico van (although it's unclear if this van existed separately or was subsequently made into the camper).
