Doesn't have the Millrace alloys (76+ option, 79+ standard) but the original 68+ rough-cast aluminium, which were re-introduced about 86 (exact date unclear). Body colour rear light cylinders were 87+ (previously chromed). I'm suspicious whether these headrest seats (late 90s) are original as it's a short door cockpit (pre-97, when the doors were lengthened rearwards by 2" creating a visible overlap on the panel behind), and a new smoother cast alloy design had arrived. If everything here is original it doesn't quite match what my bible says, but ignoring the seats as an owner tweak, my best estimate after looking everything up is 87+ for the rear lights; my initial guess before reading the small print was about late 70s, but the rear lights and wheel sequence should make it a few years younger.
