Mk1 Escort Under bonnet pic ?

[Savvi]

Hi

 

I need a pic of under the bonnet of an early mk1 escort, estate or van if possible, as i need to see where the vin tag is placed, also if there was a build plate as well ?

 

I'm also wanting to know if the vans had a weight plate as i've seen on some in the past as standard or if they were added afterwards.

 

I seem to remember someone on here having a minty standard green estate ?

 

 

Thanks

No one have any pics ?

 

I dont need a close up pic, im not wanting to copy the vin tag just so i can see where it should go as i seem to remember the early ones in a differant place to the later models ?

Try sending a PM to Neil (escortmad79) as he has an H plate mk1 escort estate

 

You might actually be able to see it in this thread. having met the old couple he bought the car off, I doubt they'd have modified a thing and I'm pretty sure they were the original owners
