Thanks Vista, its not there. I have been looking at pictures on the net of engines bays, some have them some do not. Is it possible earlier than 78 had them in a different place?

Hi, Im trying to find the Vin plate location for a 77 Mk2 Escort. Where should it be? Cheers Russ

Hello, This may sound like a daft questions but where is the bonnet release handle on a mk2 escort? I have just bought one but unfortunately it is stuck in customs and they won't release the car until they have verified the vin number, which is under the bonnet. They tell me they can't find the handle but won't let me near the car until their inspection is complete. I assume its in the drivers side footwell area, can somebody please confirm this. Cheers Russ

Any news on the binders front?

Thanks Lotusless. I sold it to a mate around May 91, he kept it in his garage until about 95 and sold it on. The body was in very good condition with very little rust, so hopefully someone has it and is restoring it slowly. You never know. Russ

My Name is Russ and I live in Ontario Canada. I am originally from Coventry but moved out here in 92. I have always been into old Fords ever since I can remember, it probably started with a Scalextric Escort Mexico that my babysitter’s son had and has just spiralled out of control. My first car was a 73 Mk1 escort 1100L OVC335M does anyone know if it still exists? I currently own a 72 1100L that I had shipped from Germany. I also have a 78 2.3 JPS Mercury Capri & 2 Merkur XR4Ti's (Sierra's) All my cars need some work, well a lot, which I will get to when I get chance. I have a wife and 3 small kids and a busy job, so time is at a premium right now. But one day I swear!!!!!!
