Re: chassis number ident for 1962-1964 Mk1 Consul cortina

A 63 two door GT is indeed a rare car.
I'm not 100% sure but they could have been British built and bought over for motorsport homologation.
113 is the body type, Right hand drive manual. On Australian cars there will be another number on the radiator support panel, passenger side close to where the grill attaches. The stamping is very shallow (on mine at least) and could easily have been covered by primer and paint, erased by a sandblaster or lost if the panel has been replaced.
Once again not 100% sure but from the info I have the chassis number on British cars is on the compliance plate labelled as 'Vehicle number' under the paint code.
It would start with a B for Britain followed by A for the Dagenham plant
If it does have the BA prefix it might be worth searching UK sites or getting in touch with the Mk1 Cortina owners club over there, although it is a worldwide club.
