The two numbers cannot be compared, as there were so many more 1.8 made than
1.4.

A 1.4 at 592, if I recall, is not the first generation and is a solid
performer. The 'best' 1.4 have a serial number greater than 1,080,xxx.  1.1M
is the normal test, but it is a touch below that.  200,000 or so are the
oldest.
