That engine no. would have come from an Aug 72 non Statesman HQ. The date stamp if I have read it correctly is May 15 71 :Chin:

Just curious, I know statos had '11' in front of the QT but how can you tell it would be from an Aug 72 HQ, is it by the sequence number? Being a 71 build I wouldn't have thought they would have kept that many engines in stock to carry over that far.

In my list of HQ-Z's I also record engine no. if possible and QT205010 is from cars built in Aug of 72 either the engine no has been re-stamped or has been misquoted. I would expect a 5/71 engine to be in the QT1-2k range
