Default Re: Cortina MK2

I'd say that your CN7820B is more than likely the original engine number fitted to the car when built. If it was assembled at Broadmeadows, as Simon Varley suggests, the code would be CG or CL where C=Ford Britain export CKD and G=Passenger vehicle line OR L= truck assembly line. The truck line was only used for Capri Convertibles from 1988 though. As far as I'm aware all early Escorts, Cortinas and Capri's were assembled at Homebush, code K.
