This has been lovingly restored.

I wonder what year this made its way to Australia.

Well I don't know how that company made use of their serial numbers, but likely they made a whole range of products, and possibly used only one series of serial numbers, so there may actually have been only very few of this particular model.

Love the seat set-up!!!

You could be right, because that would be a lot of units of these that they made.

Its a wonderful looking engine and sounded just awesome!
