I'm not entirely sure how old any of mine are. I know I was gutted when the main dealer parts troll told me my blue 3dr was a '90.
*edit* though some of the relays are dated 11/89 :?

Same at every car factory, the customer (dealer network) order in bulk, and you can only get 5/6 on a transporter. Plus there's all the foreign-built crap we sell, brought in by ship and sat in our compounds (£6 per day per car apparently).
