I don't know what year mine is, as it appears that a battery had cracked 
and leaked acid all over the spot on the clutch housing where the serial 
number was. I can just barely make out the "860", but the serial numbers 
are illegible. I just assume for discussion's sake that it is a '56, as 
the number appears to start with a "1" and looks to be 6 digits. 
Frankly, there were not all that many made and so few changes over the 4 
years that it really makes no difference what year it is.

The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.
