Since 1967 it had the body same like the Fiat (of Fiat) - similar to this one with row of vent holes above the hood, so I would say a 1967+ Europa, but this vehicle confuses me - it is some hybrid body with old doors, mentioned vents and still long canvas top (since 1967 Steyr had to have short one only)... No idea is it something original or custom made. -- Last edit: 2013-07-01 21:33:27

This is the later type of roof (no matter is it canvas or not) due to the mentioned vents below the rear window, which early Steyr (both "canvas" and "dach") didn't have at least till the mid 60s.
