engine/chassis No.=year?
i need help working out my engine year AD284990.
just found out how to work out chassis year (only good for 1965 onwards), the first two numbers on VIN are 11=bug
14=ghia, the third number indicates witch year eg. 2 would mean 1972, 5 would be 1965 or 75. difference in body shape should take away any confusion
in mixing up 60's and70's |

Your engine is from 1971 (1 Aug 70 to 31 July 71). I found the information here:

check under the back seat near the battery, there should be a number stamped into the body, that should be the shassis no. |
