Also I think the number plate beginning with a L indicates this is a 1986 rather than 1985.

But late in 1985 M was first used and was used for the rest of 1986 model year, always with a low first number (0-4). Early 1987 model year had M as first letter but with a high first number (5-9). I would rather guess that this FAKE polis car is a 1985. The first Polis painted 740 was first bought in 1989 (very few) that was also the first year with the new blue and white paint.
