Answer 1

The link looks to have these. There a phone number and e-mail at bottom. I would call on the phone as they may not e-mail back. Just ask and you may get a good idea how to tell.

Answer 2

Its not how old it is but if its working right and if you can get spare parts.  My engine is 1966 but going strong and parts still available.  Remember on a boat your engine can be your only way to get home.

Answer 3

Lister engines are still available.

For vintage stuff, there is a rally held in Gloucestershire in June. Maybe an expert there might be able to shed some light. Its a fantastic event and worth a visit even if you are not interested in engines.
