Round headlights so 1500 or more probably 1800 in UK. Might be 1966 D plate. |

No, it's not a 2000, because they had all rectangular front lights https://www.bmwblog.com/2017/11/20/1968-bmw-2000-asks-17500-netherlands/ . Instead I believe this is a BMW 1800 because of the chromed waist strip and the chromed sills. The entry models 1500, and later 1600, had neither of those, only a short chromed strip on the (huge) boot lid. @HWJOE: It's actually called Neue instead of Neu: NEU is used when describing how something is, like "Das Auto ist Neu." (ENG: The car is new.). NEUE is used when it is affected by something, like "Die Neue Klasse." (ENG: The new class.), where "Klasse" is a feminine word. The German language has a rather complex grammar, I realised when tried to study it at one point... |

Sorry for the mix-up. |

Also the UK sales: we only had 1500 April 64 to Dec 65 and never got 1600. 1800 was sold here April 64 to 1971. |
