Andrew, Are you talking about the 1600 in the pics that you posted yesterday? It's somewhere in the late '69 to mid '70 build. Note the DATSUN badge in the centre of the rear panel. What type of speedo i.e. strip or round - if it's round type then I'd guess somewhere between 12/69 and 10/70 when the badges moved to the boot lid, if it's the strip type speedo then in the range 6/69 - 11/69. The straight wiper motor was also used for most '70 models and the aerial first appeared on the drivers side "A" pilar. Actually I'm thinking it is a '70 model as the grill and badged also changed in 12/69 to what you have. It's the same as mine, so that's why I noticed the detail. What did look a bit "not right" is the side blinkers - they don't look original although it could be just an illusion, the '70 model had the thin type markers and yours look sort of "bubbly" aka '69.
