dsl ◊ 2018-11-13 00:07	Can't see the side window shape (small until Oct 70) but it definitely has the pre-Oct 72 indicators flat on bonnet instead of upright, and I think has the pre-Oct 70 smaller front grille. Can't decide if bumper central divider is chrome (early) or body colour (after Oct 70). On balance an early one before Oct 70. Reference photos for comparison of G15 evolutionary changes 1] early 1970 2] March 1973 registration - rear side window enlarged from Oct 70 - body coloured divider in front bumper from Oct 70 - slightly bigger front intake under bumper from Oct 70 - flush Marina door handles from summer 72 - front indicators set vertically from summer 72 Total production officially listed as 804 when final batch made in Oct 73, but Ginettaists say it was probably only about 600. All sold in UK (including 5 to NI), apart from Angola (1), Canada (2), HK (1), NZ (1), Portugal (1), UAE (1) and USA (2 - these were built in 1977 at the request of a potential US importer and called G15 Super S with VW 1600cc engines and a racier bodykit, but nothing further happened).
