Mk1 registration number
 

Hi guys, I've recently hopped from the cossie scene into a mk1 escort. I stumbled across a 1974 2 door mint shell but it has no registration number. All chassis tags are in order and the chassis number is stamped into the strut top on the drivers side. I have found various sites which help me to decode the chassis number, so I know it's a November 1974 in white, 2 door made in Britain shell.
Dvla aren't being helpful as they need a reg number and hpi don't have any info on the chassis number. Is there anyone out there who would have a database or any info from this chassis number please? ( a reg number would be great)
It is

Many thanks in advance :top:
