I would say it is possibly a 1963 as the decal placement is right but the engine base colour is different.

Well done.

Great machine in great condition

Can you get an image for the manometer?

My experience it that few work or work correctly so if new or replacement not available slipping in a paper image would make the unit look complete.

Have a Ernst Plank missing the dial and that's been one thought since it seems inpossible to find replacement.

Thank you Al I'll do my best to get a picture. It'll be a while before i see the engine due to work commitments, i.e. I'm back at sea.
