For restoration is a genuine Daytona Yellow Ford Escort Mexico unused for 39 years ( since 1984) and has the original correct BFAT code Vin/chassis plate and body plate it was supplied with when built in September 1973 but initially registered in March 1974. This vehicle is a Ford GB (B), Averly built (F), Escort (A), 2 door saloon (T) with genuine and original Type 49 body shell and an L7 engine code from new (1,598cc GT/Mexico), with the matching engine number to the chassis number and a 2000E 4 sped manual gearbox. Car has been off the road for the last 39 years and has had various mediocre restoration works and welding done over that period but although solid, should be redone when the car is restored. Missing the interior but has the correct 6 clock dash,; car will require a thorough restoration but is well worth doing since the car has the original Type 49 body shell and engine with the original VIN/Chassis and body plates the car was supplied with. Car has all the original and correct Type 49 features such as studs in the boot floor (facing down to accept the optional but rarely fitted stone guard bolted to the underside of the boot floor), front strengthening braces to the underside of the front inner wings, long neck steering rack,9 inch rear drum brakes, 6 clock dash housing, rear anti-tramp bar brackets, front arched wings, black roof lining etc. etc. Car comes with a freshly issued V5C Registration Document after having been checked by the DVLA to confirm it is a genuine Mexico model and that the body shell matches the DVLA records as registered when new.
