The small blinkers may have been retro-fitted - who knows as any 30 yo car has a history.
The door strips - on my 1600 they originally matched the interior i.e. black/black - but when I repainted it in 1980 I matched them to the body colour. What was OEM in that area is not something I know about. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au]On Behalf Of andrew smith Sent: Wednesday, 30 October 2002 11:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: year identification I was thinking around a 70 model but those small blinkers had me thinking it might have been a 69.Another thing that i thought was strange was the strip that runs around the door opening in the body is red like the rest of the interior.I have a GL with a red interior but the strip is black.
