Pipster007 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 I have a mk1 escort that was registered in sept 73. How can i tell when it was built?Odds are, your's was built in mid 1973, as they were being sold so quickly back in those days http://rs-garage.co.uk/decode.html
mk1v4 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 you can date the build date of your car from the vin number any ford club should be able to help
Admin Vista Posted March 27, 2009 Admin Report Posted March 27, 2009 the cut off date is 5th jan 1973 your car as to have been built before that date even if its registerd after that date Close but not quite. It has to have been registered or built before 1st Jan 73 the cut off date is therefore Dec 31st 1972. If your car was registered in Sept 73 I'd say there's a 0% chance it was built in 72. A K reg is safe is K runs from Aug 71 to July 72, and an early L reg can scrape in too.

Thats a shame. looks like i just dipped out then. i guess new cars didnt sit around in airfields for a year back in the 70`s then.
