There is quite a bit of info in the "Haynes Restoration manual" for Escorts and Cortinas.

Clint,
Put in the plate from my 1970 1100 base model.
Vehicle No. Entered = BA93HG
Version =
Product Source Company = Great Britian - Ford owned plant.
Assembly Plant =
Body Type =
Configuration =
Engine =
Transmission =
Axle = English 3.54
Colour =
Trim =
Date of Manufacturer = April 1968 - Yor Car is Tax Exempt in the UK
The numbers/letters across the plate read
R L A A B965
I've owned this car for 29 years (bought as standard car) so I'm pretty sure what it came with from the factory (famous last words).
It was a 1100HC Basic 2-door, rubber mats, no chrome trim, vinyl trim.
It had a 1100 engine, manual transmission, 3.777:1 diff (yes, I'm absolutely sure of that) and was white (probably Ermine or Diamond White).
It was registered in July 1970 BUT when Ford still stocked spares it showed up as a late 1969 manufacture. The original engine was the uprated flat head type which I think puts the manufacture date as November/December 1969, anything earlier had different engine details.
Case you think I'm a polisher, it's been written off several times, had a one-piece flipfront, now Mexico front wings, 1700 X-flow/2000e box/LSD and gets driven to death several times a year at sprints in the SW.

BA93HG
R L A A B965
Are you sure about that?
This should be a 1968 1600HC Cortina MkII and not an Escort. The decode should only work for Escorts, as Cortinas had different coding. So an Axle Code such as your "A" would show up as 3.777:1 Heavy Duty in an Escort and as 3.89:1 in a Cortina.
Cheers
Clem
This one just redrew the welcome screen - no output. On Firefox if that makes any difference.
Clem,
S**t, no wonder I kept smackin it into things. I've bin drivin a Cortina all these years.
I've got an old Haynes with ID details that mine ties up with fairly well so I'll go and scan and post on here. So much for Ford being so organised and easy with their VIN plates.
Bernie
Ran it again after a PM. Results below.
Vehicle No. Entered = BA93HG
Version =
Assembly Plant = Dagenham, England.
Body Type = Escort, 4 Door De Luxe.
Configuration = Right hand drive.
Engine = 1098cc High Compression.
Transmission = Manual Transmission.
Axle = English 3.777:1 heavy Duty.
Colour = Ermine White.
Trim =
Date of Manufacturer = April 1968 - Yor Car is Tax Exempt in the UK See Here
Only thing worrying is the manufacture date, but anything's possible. Reg doc definitely says July 1970, it could have sat rotting anywhere between April 68 and then, but it definitely had the later engine by the time I got it - although I didn't hang onto the 1100 engine for too long.
It's got a flush fuel filler which I think only came in late 1969.
Jeez, I've just checked the log book and the VIN number's different. I'll get back to you.
Looks like you're hitting the right notes now for sure.
Bernie
Bernie, sorry to be persistent...
You might be driving an Escort, but your Vehicle number
BA93HG is:
B = Britain
A = Dagenham
93 = Cortina 4Dr. Deluxe
H = 1968
G = April....
a July 1970 4Door Deluxe Escort would be something like:
BB5DKM..
just wondering why the decoder would decode Model 93 as an Escort...

This is what I thought it was, and I've got the wrong tag on the car!!! Only detail missing is the diff ratio, mine's definitely got a `J' for this. The vehicle number on the plate that's NOT on the car matches the reg. doc. Only strange thing was when I ONLY entered the VIN number off the reg. doc. last night it came back as a Cortina.
Reckon this proves what you've done works a treat.
Attached are pics of the `proper' tag (the one NOT on the car but will be soon) and a page from my Haynes manual explaining the tag. Glad to know I haven't been driving a Cortina all these years.
Bernie
What CLINT has done!
@Clint
As I wrote, I can mail you a few other documents for the Escort.
Just note, for instance, that before 1970 the UK-models were coded with numbers such as Bernie's Model 40 = Standard Saloon 3-Door, or Model 5D = Deluxe Saoloon 4-Door. From 1970 then they reverted to the later body code such as:
AT = Escort 2-Door,
AF = Escort 4-Door
etc.
This coding was used for Export Cars right from the beginning (1968), which sometimes confuses people, so you should include both versions in the decoder.
Cheers
Clem
@Benie:
BTW, your Axle code J is a 3.889:1 heavy duty axle.
Cheers
Clem
Bernie, dont worry m8 its taough me a very good lesson, I had the Cortina codes but when you said your tag was genuine I changed them, I will make sure I fully investigate the differences first next time.
Its a good thing we spotted your tag though could have got you in a sticky spot !

HAVE DECODED A FRIENDS VIN TAG BUT HIS BODY TAG IS CONFUSING!
ARTCF RS 1600
438 SERVICE
PRIMER
Has anyone got any ideas?
66 Mustang
@Darren,
I would'nt say it's that confusing. It could be an original body tag (they came in quite a few different forms). But it might also be an original replacement shell as it says "SERVICE" and "PRIMER".
The model code is the correct one for the RS1600:
ARTCF
A= Escort
R = RHD
T = 2-Door
C = RS1600
F = 4-Speed Manual Transmission
Cheers
Clem
Ive got a mk1 mexico, the shell doesnt have much of its original parts left on it and doesnt have the chassis tag anymore. Is there a way of telling me what trim etc my car should have from the vin no on logbook? I'd like to get a new tag made up.
Perky, I think the AVO club can help you.
66 Mustang
Any chance of a Mk2 decoder ?
CheeRS
try it with your mk2 tag and report back to me.
