Yes, the Corgi 1/36-ish scale Mk3 Escort appeared in a few racing paintjobs- from memory as the Mike Smith 'Ilford Photo' prodsaloon and Barry Lee's 'Total' BTCC machine, as well as the Brooklyn one
Scalextric did a Mk3 Escort XR3i at one point, but I'm not sure if I remember any authentic touring car liveries on it- maybe 'Ilford Photo'?
The Australian market did get the Scalextric Mk3 in Dick Johnson/Palmer Tube Mills green (also seen on the Scalextric Rover...
), an even more improbable Gary Scott/Nissan version(!) and worst of all, in Peter Brock/HDT colours (both Marlboro and Mobil versions I think)!- I bet that last one went down
really well- HDT colours on a Ford

There was an article on Mk3 Escort models in one of the diecast collecting mags a while back- I'll see if it lists the colourschemes for the Corgi version
