Hi,
This is my first contact with stationary engines and by extension Lister engines.
I have acquired a Lister Startomatic - the ID plate is '8795 LD 15'.
Reading round I can't find anything definite as to dating this engine, There are LD1 and LD2 produced from 1955 & 6 respectively but no 'LD'. I've seen images of the LD1 and it does look remarkably like my engine. I thought that maybe the plate should be '8795 LD1 5' but that would date the engine as 1955 - a year before they were supposedly made.
Is it common for the '1' or '2' designation to be missed off the ID plate - I'm pretty sure that what I am seeing is a 1965 LD1 with serial number 8795.
