Red Window Carton, Pop riveted engine frame and no water level plug would date it between 1967 and 1975.

A very nice and clean example of these engines. Did it come with a funnel, as mine was missing from my Minor 2 and I find it more difficult to get the red funnels as replacements, than the more common now black funnels?

still got red funnel and little accessory booklet and cheers for letting i know a rough age

I'm almost certain I bid on that engine before, but the price got silly, a lot more than you paid!
