...........on an important 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 e/n: 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 GTV6 CAPRI BOOKS inc Owners manual and Maintenance manual and workshop Manual, and then GETTING all 3 GENUINE like Brand new from an interstate gentleman who had this car decades ago and wrote it off, I'm now convinced NOTHING cannot be found on the WWW (sorry about the double negative)..............at the time of listing the Wanted Ad, I thought I was "nuts" wasting my time for something so so so so very very rare !!!!!!!!  ...well I was wrong!
...........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)....... ?
Just remembered Dad's had separate little oval shaped front Parkers/Indicators whereas my mates got the facelift model with those lights(clear&amber) incorporated next to the grille.............yet both 1964 !!!!  .....go figure !......Dad's must have been fully imported or old run-out stock from 1960 ?................Bernie

Best of luck with your search, what state was the cory originally registered in?  Are you able to run the engine no past the DOT to see if it is still on their data base as being in a vehicle? Len

Thanks Len, yep tried all the obvious lurks; no luck
The Corty was VIC registered
Thanks for asking
Bernie

Hi Bernie,
Have you made a formal application under the freedom of information act (in writing) to your state transport department?
Records should go back 25 years.
 

Also try the other states as well. The car may have gone interstate.
