Hi Chaps

New to all this so apologies for any posts i have missed.

I Recently Purchase the MK1 Escort in my profile pic and just wondered how i can find any history for it.

I believe it was first registered as a 1300? but has a 1600 Cross flow. The insurance companies keep asking me questions about the engine. All i have is the 711M6015BA and an engine No.AA77842.

I need to find out the age of the engine and what it came from. Any help would be great.

just tell them it was in it when you bought it and its older than yourself.failing that call hagerty insurance,they talk sense.

Sounds like you need to deal with an insurance company who knows what a crossflow is, give Hagerty`s a ring (hegarty?)

Prob get it insures fully comp for Ł100

My 69` 2.0 twin 45`s Escort cost Ł135 to insure.

Ok chaps

Insurance sorted. Some results of googling have found that the engine was built in March 1980. The 77842 will be the chassis number of what ever it came from????

Any ideas?
