Nothing on lastvin indicates it was probably built before 1981. 12305312011462 123 = series 053 = 280 CE 1 = left-hand drive 2 = Automatic gear shifting 011462 = serial number -- Last edit: 2025-01-23 19:15:11

I am going to update the model to the correct one. I am also adding the links on the main page for the youtube video in case you want to check out the video for further details.
