 Hi all 

I have seen  a couple of FE 948cc engines & both were supposedly Spitfire 
engines according to the owners  but they  used the small herald 948 oil filter 
not the bigger one off of the 1200 so I can only assume they were 948cc engines.

re birth dates 

I have used the wiper motor date for a pretty good indication for Heralds (in 
Oz anyway) on the removable back plate covering the gear motion, yes you do 
have to clean it first, look for a 3 letter month designation & a 2 figure year 
date ( incidently the Sth Oz police use this on Heralds to determine year of 
manufacture & it was my idea to boot).
