I am guessing the part number on the starter is 2875560? The very late VIN A12 Super Bees did have this starter versus the most common 2095150.

I agree with LR 69.5, a date code of 27 9 puts you into the week of the 4th of July 1969 for the manufacture of this starter. The last week of assembly at Lynch Road for all cars appears to be the 28th week of 69.

The latest component build dates I have seen on A12 cars is in the week of 26 9, and those are EAD's. I think you have an early 1970 starter.

Hope this helps.
