This engine has no spec. number. I believe the later ones didn't have it.

Thanks, I'll get in touch with him.

Unlikely, most of the later production records were lost in a big fire at the factory.

  To quote my own post from Oct 25th 2012............


   I would recommend finding out her interests. Be polite and make casual , non controversial small talk. Listen to and remember  everything she says and talk very little yourself. Don't scratch anything itchy in her presence. If there is a mutual social occasion with a group of other people , see if she is interested in attending and respond with interest, a great first date. Dress clean and stylish. Carry on from there . Chocolate, flowers, fine wine, chick flick movies or theatre plays are good etc.
     It's not to difficult getting a date with an old single  from the 70's. Most are grateful for any attention at all.
