I think it's added to the confusion Phil 😬
I don't know how much credibility there is in the numbers followings the CK a any other escort is a 44 shell also and it was a 1300 xl

1600 gt. Doing reading that's what the twin cam was rebadged to in about 1972. Sound familiar to anyone?

A 1972 twincam is badged(stickered) as a  GT1600, a 1600GT is a kent engined escort

I agree that the list isn't altogether correct.
 
For example, there is no mention of 1100 or 1300cc escorts.
 
But hey, if ford are telling me my 1100cc bodied escort is now a twink shell, then it must be so..... :)

Ok. Just have inspected again. The vin plate is stamped as a ck44, chassis stamp on top of strut tower says ck49. The serial number following the ckXX is the same.
Thoughts? It definitely has everything twin cam. The other interesting thing is that it also has additional driving lights which were standard as an option?. The owner has owned it for 34 years.

A little more info about Twin Cams from the parts book
1970 Model Code is 11019 and badged "TWIN CAM"
1971 Model Code is 11119 and badged "TWIN CAM"
1972 Model Code is 11219 and badged "ESCORT" + "GT1600" decals
The GT1600 decals came in three colours black, gold and orange

Thanks Phil. Model code is 11119 so we are on the money :) the vin plate is wrong with its ck44 stamp but that doesn't mean much I feel

One more test run in about a fortnight a time but deposit is placed. Rather excited to say the least.
It's got a clutch leak at the master cylinder and a small brake line leak at the rear connection the flexible hose connecting to the diff. Everything else is looking great :)
Will post some pics once all sorted and confirmed :)
