Taken together, this catalogue gives a technician, restorer, or parts professional the complete Ford parts universe for the Escort RS1600, Mexico, and RS2000 — from body panels and interior trim through to engine internals and transmission components. Each entry records the Finis number used for ordering, the seven-digit part number, quantity required per vehicle, source codes distinguishing Ford Britain from Ford Germany parts, model applicability, and a Year/Month production code so the correct part variant can be confirmed against a specific vehicle’s build date.

Vehicle Identification and Model Codes

The catalogue opens with a detailed explanation of the Vehicle Identification Plate codes, covering type, version (G = Mexico/RS2000, L = RS1600), vehicle serial number structure, drive (left/right hand), engine code (L7 = 1600cc GT, K5 = 1600cc RS1600, NE = 2000cc RS2000), transmission (5 = Manual), rear axle ratio (W = 3.7:1 heavy duty, Z = 3.54:1), paint codes, and trim codes. The Year and Month Code table decodes the production date characters stamped on every vehicle, enabling precise model-year identification across the 1970–1973 production span.

How to Use This Catalogue

Parts can be located two ways: by Finis number through the Numerical Index, or — when the Finis number is unknown — through the Group Index (yellow pages) to the relevant Illustration Plate, where the part is identified visually and its Finis number read off. The catalogue maintenance section explains the Supplement Service that kept the catalogue current, with codes marking new items (N), replacements (2), service-only items (4), obsolete parts (5), and assembly replacements (6).
