Hi Guys!

Looking for a Fairlane Concorde (or FBT).

Just wondering what the definate ID rules are.

I have seen one for sale and one thing I have noticed is it has the 'concorde' sticker on the RHS of the front bumper and NOT on the pinstripe behind the rear door.

It has the Tickford engine, It has 2 tone grey leather and it has the crosswire silver 16" alloys.
Somehow though it doesnt look like it has the Tickford Sports suspension, seems to ride at standard height.

Could someone give me a list of things I should check for please?
Build is 9/98 .

(wasnt sure which forum to post this, can mods please move it if incorrect?)

Knock knock..

Anyone out there?

Well I couldn't wait any longer. I phoned Ford.

Nothing on the plate in the engine bay?

he never actually said anything about the compliance plate, He got codes from the VIN number I gave him.

(I am checking out a Concorde for sale atm)

Maybe there is a letter or number specific to Concordes in he VIN ir chassis number.
