Post by: woodinsight on September 26, 2012, 01:31:14 PM: Hmmm.....
I believe PJ was there first with the name of the car and Otto named the engine before PJ modified his post?
I'll award you both with a point if that's the case.

1964 is correct though....but not enough to give you a point I'm afraid.

Please don't give me a point - in his haste to post, PJ neglected to give the complete answer. He clearly knew what it was.

Thanks!

Point goes to PJ then and this one is now solved.

Thank you, that's what happened.
We have the same source, I just copied and pasted those words from it after Otto's reply and saw he did it 1st.
