l33 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 my chassis number reads this on the plate under the bonnet bbtgkr there is no A on the chassis plate but there is one on the log book. so this is how it should read bbatgkr can any body tell me if this is correct for a gt model as it doesnt say gt just says escort on the log book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 bbatgkr B- Ford of GB B - Assembly plant halewood AT - 2 door saloon But after that it looks a little odd as the chassis number should be 6 letters followed be a vehicle specific number, you've quoted 7 letters. Do you have the kind of VIN plate on the bottom left or right of the pic below? I'm guessing bottom left from the info you've supplied. The box marked version identifies what model it is (or at least what model the plate was off) The letter options that could be in it are as follows S - Standard D - Base M - L P - XL Q - Sport G - GT and Mexico L - Twin cam, RS1600 and RS 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 my chassis plate is just a painted white panel with a few other numbers other than the chassis number , It should have a plate on it that is one of the two options above. What letters does your VIN no start with on the reg document? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
