Did the van rears go all the way back to the Anglia? Been a while since I've seen an Anglia van but I remember them being similar.
 
Van rear bumpers were on the Anglia van but I'm not sure of the bolt hole pattern on them, I guess it was as the Lotus Cortina being the same time they were out.

Boo !!!

Not trivia but decided to watch one of Jackie Chan's 1st movies , Police Story , not far in from the start where the slums are they crash a few cars down the hill, 1 being a mk2 escort but it ended up destroyed. Then a bit later there's a Mk4 Cortina wagon, which became a wreck after Chan and the villains fight on it, some scenes the actors got really injured. The double decker bus scene where 2 people fall out from the top floor and land head first on the tarmac when they was meant to land on the car 6ft away. There's plenty of action stunts with real injuries..
If you've not seen it in a while or never seen it, find it on YouTube or SBS on demand etc , it is subtitled but still great entertainment, enjoy !!

Bringing back the thinking caps..

After reading all previous posts to make sure I'm not doubling up I have a question..

On some Escorts there's a 3mm plate that goes under the drivers floor to the outer sill and is welded in quite solidly,
My question is why is it on some and not others, ie from birth to about late 73 there's nothing but then the plate appears till the mk1 end of run.. Now it gets sketchy cause it disappears on the mk2 from 75 till about late 77 or early 78 and was there till the end.
This is on any model and engine type, sedan, coup, van. I'm baffed !!
