We established it was a TE21, but had quite a discussion about the year. I think it shows a 'D' registration (which would make it a 1966 car), but it is a little bit unclear (even when I used to watch it on television)!

The only externally visible TE/TF difference I can find details for is that the TF had a heated rear window. Unless it is actually known as a TE from records (old showroom stock or whatever??), the date suggests TF.
