The production date of an e30, is that when it entered or left the factory ? Anyone know how long the manufacture process was from start to finish ? And how long after the factory production date it would if arrived at the dealers ?

I know that at JLR, the production date is the moment that the vehicle paperwork at the start of the production line is created.

My E30's production date is 07:33am 11/04/1990

Not quite sure how you would classify a car as "entering" a factory.

Do you count your birthday as the date your Dad knobbed your Mum?

EFA :D
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
