Lister Type A Spec 14 - s/n 47466 date?

Hello all

New to the forum and stationary engines.
After years of wanting one, my son and I have recently purchased a Lister type A Spec 14
Missing a fuel tank and line but otherwise intact, good compression on exhaust and inlet.
Tatty but all turning. No spark on magneto.... small beer.
Bought it at auction .. £110
The serial number is 47466

Can anyone point me in right direction to date it?
It has a single flywheel - which i understand from talking to a chap at a show once, means it might be quite early.

Might be posting on other sections for advice - but the date of the engine would be good place to start
Also, are there any registers of what engines went where - might be nice to know where it came from (other than a farm sale that is!)

Many thanks

Adam

Hi mate and welcome, looks like your Lister A would be late 1925 going by the dating chart, reference history info drop Dave Edington an email with the serial number and he should be able to tell you
