FX4, probably 1960s for early wing mirror.

Yes, 1958-1968 by the roof mounted turn signals...

Possibly 'H' registered.

Possibly 'YYU 152H' unknown or 'YYU 162H' listed as a 1970 Volkswagan (blue- untaxed) false/transferred number?

Cut down bigger rear lights came in 1968-69 (still struggling to find exact date), so any 1970 plate is re-registration or fake.

I always assumed it was September 1968 but cannot confirm it with any certainty.

In the movie I somehow think this FX4 has the very earliest straight lever style door handles so closer to 1958 than late 1960s when they were the curved lever type (before the push button handles in the early 1970s).

Main picture has the Austin 'shield' badge 1958-1963 so still likely to be a very early taxi.
