So it's an 18/85. If someone can see the registration, the Mk II was introduced in summer 1969, but the only other way to tell from outside the car is the 14" wheels and the presence of a "II" on the bootlid. -- Last edit: 2013-05-01 12:51:24

It's only been 11 years, but the plate appears to be VUV 283G:
