How is it 1952? Teach me master.

I did send the vendor a message through ebay which he has acknowledged.

To date a Lister engine, you need to recognise which of three numbering systems the engine is using.

Pre-1951
Post-1951
Late 1980's onwards

Examples of all three are on both of our websites (soon to be joined by a third site)

Pre-1951 dating is simply a number lookup against a table:
http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/EngineDating/Dating.htm
noting that the diesel engines are on the RIGHT of the table.

Post-1951 dating is slightly more complex:
http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/EngineDating/Dating5.htm
You have to work it out!

Late 1980-s onwards is slightly simpler:
http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/EngineDating/Dating6.htm
Read the label and apply.

In the case of the Australian engine, the serial number is more than 5 digits, so unless it is prefixed by 35/36 or 38/39, which would be a CD or CE, it has to be the later, Post-1951 system of numbering.

In amongst the engine number, there will be the engine type, and in this case it is 51 for 5/1 engine. 61 would be 6/1, 102 would be 10/2 and so on.

An R after the engine type would be Radiator-cooled, and the number AFTER that is the year of manufacture, which has to be added to 1950. In this case it was a 2 so 1952.

The number BEFORE the 51 is the serial number.

The label has been polished so the black paint has rubbed off, but it does look original.

I had no doubt that it is original, Its the price that suprised me, If it was a Austral, R&V or a odd type engine, I would understand, But a CS @ $4500 I Thought you all might like to see it

The engine looks nicely finished, but unless they are $AU then he is a bit out of the price range, even for a nicely done engine.

Having said that, you never know....

This is true.  But did you notice that the price has been dropped by $1000 or so.  You've got to cut corners when you lower the price.  $4500 you get pictures but at $3500 you just has gots to takes yo chances?

Wait a minute!  The new listing has a youtube video attached.  Shouldn't the price be raised from the measly $4,500.00 instead of dropped?

You know, some poor shumck is going to buy this engine and thinking he (or she) is going to join this form to brag on the great deal they got. And then they will find THIS thread about THEIR engine and probably commit suicide. So we owe it to the future purchaser of this engine to terminate this thread out of conscience to their sanity.

Than again...... carry on.

I ha the feeling the poor fellow with the Engine is the one who got burned....

No matter.

FYI: I keep posting price and comments on YouTube and they get deleted. Perhaps we could all post at all ours of the day????

Not only the originals are going up, cast iron in India has gone up something like 400% and it will be reflected in the price of engines coming from there.  It may be the beginning of the end for the Indian stuff, if it's not cheap, the disadvantages outweigh everything else and they will likely lose their appeal and sellability.  As an added bonus, here in Canukistan if we bring in the carbon tax on Chinese and Indian imports then that might just finish this game.

If they loose the price advantage, they may well have to build good engines to saty alive....
