I've never seen anything earlier than 2004, Europe would be your best bet.

Wasn't the Kent motor used in late Escorts? There's either that option or perhaps seeing if there is any similarity with the Laser/Mazda 323.

The kent motor was used in the old escorts. Did they import them to AU back then..

We had the Escort until 1980 at which point Ford Oz joined the front wheel drive craze and brought in the Ford Laser, a badge engineered Mazda 323.

As far as 1980's Fiesta specific parts go, you wouldn't have a chance of finding them in Oz, as the earliest Fiesta here is the 2003 Mk6 model. |
