1082 is the date stamp which indicated your ALAN was built in the 10th month of 1982

Yes the machined dart shape depressions on the side of the lugs are an indication of the Super Record
from what I've been told the Super Record was built with slightly different tubing which gave a stiffer ride, whether this is true or not I can't confirm as I've never ridden the Record model to compare


For an interesting short youtube clip about how these bikes are screwed together CLICK HERE

Below are a couple of early ALAN adverts that I have come across
