L-P used to have an archive section on their website for looking up engine years
of manufacture etc., but I cannot find it these days.

Has it been taken off or is there another place for it on the site that I have
missed?

Looking for some info on the Petter AVB Research engine.

From memory the link was removed about six months ago.
The annoying thing is that the pages are probably still there if you
remembered the name but I think I tried a few of the more obvious names at
the time but to no avail.

OK, I saved it somewhere (the HTML file for the production dates) just got to
find it!

Looks like it's under revision:

I've mailed the webmaster inquiring about progress..

I suppose the one on my webshots page is not complete enough.

I think he's looking for the Petter dates, Dave.

Thanks, Tom:

I have found the file I wanted, buried in the 130,000+ files on my PC....

It's the basic engines/dates info that they put there some years ago, but
contains the basics that I wanted.

The copyright notice on the page you quoted was 2004.....

So I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for a response then? :-)

No :-))

I think they probably will get around to it eventually, but it is not a high
priority compared with the pretty pictures on the website...

Actually it's both.

The list I was looking for gave production years (with some noticeable errors)
for Lister, Petter and Lister-Petter engines up to 2001 or so.

I have it now, just had to find what I had called it...

Perhaps you need to forward it to kevin....@lister-petter.co.uk
as he has got back to me asking what the page contained! :-(

The webmaster has sent me the page, if anyone wants it, yell.
He wrote:
"The new site was developed outside of the company. I presume that our
coordinator decided not to include these.

I will see if it is something that would be useful and try and get it
put back.

In the mean time, I have attached the original page, just save it to
your computer and open it with Internet Explorer."

Thanks for that, seems that old engines are not of any interest to the company
any more.
