Haven't seen that over-rider design before, but with tints and headrests could be a late example before withdrawal in 72 - dating to 71.

The specific headrests combined with these numberplate lights and the absence of separated side markers identify, indeed, a 1969 model. Late cars (1971/72) had different rear end details, like this one: -- Last edit: 2013-07-27 19:12:26
