There must have been a couple of years where they were really turning them out.

Some time back, Martin told me that #1145 came off the line in November ‘73.

Just checked back in the archives of the list,  as I remember Martin very kindly looked up #1565's birthday  a few years ago and it was 15th August 1974,

That was a joke, Tony.  We've seen these build dates and purchase dates fluctuate all over the map, and unless Martin and John can find the list, I don't think we'll ever know for sure.  I agree, just out of curiosity, it would be nice to know.

Same here interested, mine’s #510 and been under the impression it was a 1972 build.
Don’t think so now after seeing 1407 with a much earlier date estimate.
