Reply To: Engine number query

Hi Bertel,

A little bit more information:

This from Robin Dyke when I was researching my car :

1953 models (big boots now) started at 9-530001 on Monday 13th October 1952

In 1954 they forgot to set the numbering to 54, so they began with 9-531599 on perhaps Monday 19th October 1953

This puts your car well into 1954 production, being the 847th produced in the 1953-4 production year.

I have also seen a UK log book for a 1955 car which has the engine number of : 10521416

This is the same number format as my original 11D engine so I suspect that yours could well be an older Perfo engine (like mine).
