The ONLY reason I can think of why it would HAVE to be a '72 engine is for  
the sake of originality. A '72 Spitfire engine is by far the LEAST powerful of  
all the "stock" 1300 or 1500 engines, with its low compression and the  
resulting (whopping!) 48 hp. I would think that a 1500 or an earlier 1300 would 
 be 
more desirable....
