Thank you. She's def a 1983. Should help reduce the risk of ordering wrong parts. The book looks like a fathers day winner.

Mike ,thank you for your feedback . Looking at the VIN number (SALLDHMV1AF557463) apparently the 10th character "A" denotes year. But based on below that makes her pre 1981? 

the 10th position, you'll see a letter indicating the model year. The letters from B to Y correspond to the model years 1981 to 2000. The VIN does not use I, O, Q, U or Z. From 2001 to 2009, the numbers 1 through 9 were used in place of letters. The alphabet started over from A in 2010 and will continue until 2030.

Hi, first time caller.

this is my newly acquired 1985, 110 (NZ)  complete with sliding windows. However Wikipedia states wind-up's  were replaced by sliding windows in 1984? Could this be a result of latter assembly / registration? Is there a site that references trim and colour by year / model?  Faded Rowan Brown?? hard to tell in the original pic. Thanks
