[Mr.Sumo]

it goes on the chassis number mate

 

...mine was built Jan 73 and registered Feb 73 , still no FREE tax for me though You have got to prove it was built before 31st December 1972 .

i think TIM can find out for you?

[g-man]

what dose he need 2 find out 4 me

[antz]

best PM him and ask what he needs (if he can do it) and then from teh chassis plate you can deceipher the build date.

[tim]

you need to look on ur chassis plate,the build code needs tobe an M number for a 72build,if its N then its a 73 build

What Antz said.

 

Your chassis number gives year and month built.

[g-man]

on the chassie plate its got a m under version dose that mean is 72

[tim]

nat that M mean it started life out as a L.

the part you need to look at is the Vehicle No

 

its the last 2 number that you need to look at

 

for example

BFATPJ

the PJ part is the build code

[Mr.Sumo]

Sure i gave the answer in my 1st reply...........ITS THE CHASSIS NUMBER !!!

On the pic below, the bottom left chassis plate is for mk1 Escorts from Aug 1970 on, and the bottom right is upto Aug 1970

 

On the early type, the last two letters of the vehicle number in the centre determine the build date from the table above. This car was KL equating to Jan 1970

 

On the late type, the last two letters in the vehicle number (top row third box from left) determine the build date. This car was PJ though which should be May 74 but there's a misprint in the table showing May 74 as PI
