Hello Shannath15 and Max

Max offers the best advice about year of manufacture.
This machine will date between 1972 and 1978, when Imperial production ended.
It would be great to get a bit more year specific, I guess.

The crankcase houses the crankshaft.
The production code is stamped into the alloy crankcase.
[See image below].

A History Record is available on the Imperial:-

Hope this helps.

p.s. Do you have a story or comment on your Dad's Imperial?
Was it 'special' to him or ... ?
