It is like my HJ Premier, it is 12/74 compliance and completed in February 1975. Something delayed the completion of yours if it is 9/77 compliance. Are you sure it is 9/77 and not 10/77 which would be normal to be 10/77 compliance if late October build and then completed in November after it has had stripes added in finishing area.

Your right again it is 10/77 just checked my tags again and booked to get eyes checked asap

still lurking for a late 77 turbo pattern 308 or you found something? That one Adam had would've been close to as good as it will get?

keep HJ has bigger power according to HK

Only when original, blocks are the same otherwise. Power difference is from the original parts: 9.7 vs 9.4 compression (pistons), inlet manifold, carb and timing.
