SEEKING DAD'S "LOST" 1964 CONSUL/CORTINA OR EVEN JUST HIS 113E ENGINE.....ANY LEAD WELCOME

...........on another matter, I'm looking for Dad's old 1964
 
Mk1 White Consul/Cortina 440 that last had the regio number    HZL747  back in 1988 +or- a few
 
years or even if I can find the OHV engine (113E145714)  ............."money's no obstacle"
 
I know it's a  MILLION TO ONE SHOT, but after putting in a request like this on GUMTREE for A FULL SET OF GT V6 CAPRI BOOKS inc Owners manual and Maintenance manual and workshop Manual, and getting all 3 GENUINE like Brand new, I'm now convinced NOTHING cannot be found on the WWW (sorry about the double negative)..............at the time of listing the Wanted Ad for the GT V6 books, I thought I was "nuts" wasting my time for something so so so so very very rare !!!!!!!!  ...well I was wrong! .... a policeman saw my ad and remembered he had all 3 from a Capri GTV6 he used to own, and sent them to me ! ....... hope dad's Consul/Cortina or engine shows up as well !
 
My mate has a 1964 Cortina without "Consul" and Emblem on Bonnet Hump and different dash Instrumentation (2 pod modern looking plus a flimsy little indicator arm with "push-in for horn" on the end, whereas Dads old 64 Consul/Cortina had a very industrial looking Combo arrangement of solid Bakelite with 2 big switches of Bakelite on RHS; one for lights and one for direction indicators, with a teardrop Bakelite switch at the end to push in for "horn" (sim to early Bedford or Commer Van), and its dash Instrumentation from memory was one wide Panel behind glass)....... ?
