John K Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Been trying to google this and been struggling to narrow it down anymore than between '73 and '84... Mr Grumpy was first registered in 1992, but how old might his engine be..? Lets assume the Xflow came from a UK production donor car (not a South Africa, South America donor). What is the youngest the engine could be? So I can figure out an approx engine age opposed to the registration age. Quote

John K Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 His block is stamped with an RU, which looks up to be Oct 1975. So I make that 42 years young. My word..! He is lasting well Quote
