Anyone Know the right answer to this ?

[Banishit]

I know Mk2 Escorts where announced in Jan 1975 but does anyone know when the first hit the road ?

Pops where on the road in July 75 but whats about the RS models, the reason I ask is this car if the tags are right was in the first 1030 Rs's ever produced

[RabC-RS2-77]

well mines just up the ladder from that !

[RS2000CUSTOM]

The numbers at the end of the chassis number are the number produced in the month/year denoted by the 2 letters before the numbers

My chassis ends UR00304 U=Oct R=1978 00304=the 304th Ford manufactured in that month (Not just RS's)

Bri yours was the 1030th built in the month/year within your chassis number

If I remember right Kels car is number 11 (lowest I've seen)

Has anyone on here got a single figure chassis number ?

[TimGR]

I think that some RS 1800s and certainly the early works cars were 75 registered.

[TimGR]

The first MK II RS2000s were also built in 1975.

[Banishit]

The first MK II RS2000s were also built in 1975.

I know Tim thanks, but does anyone know what Month they started ?

Cheers

the earliest RS1800 on my records was a March 1975 car that was regestered on the road 13/05/1975, the last numbers of the chassis number denote the engine number to that particular car.

early BBAT cars would have the crossflow 1600 engine number code on the chassis plate, a couple also had the 1600 pinto number like all the GCAT cars. No BDA 75,76 or HRE77 numbers were on the chassis plates.
