Date of registration is irrelevant, the long shaft models weren't marketed in the UK until (I think) March 1973, but were built from October 1972, Presumably that also applies to FM 1 U and future, for the "Federal" 1973 model-year 1500 series. That would jibe with the advertising for same as well as the couple of very early US 1500s I've seen over the years. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
