It's not a Glas (this is AutoPuzzles after all!)..

Or is it a BMW 1804?

..but it is a BMW, though not an 1804.
I'll lock it for you to give the model and year built.

Almost; just not quite the right model and year is just one year adrift..
Still locked for you.

In which case it must be the BMW 2000SA, and so I'd guess 1969 when it was launched.

As any extra bit of info, I have seen a dealer service manual which also referred to a 1600SA version, but I don't believe that was ever built. And of course in Zimbabwe it was assembled as the BMW Cheetah.

Yes, I have it as the 2000SA, actually this particular one fom 1971 but I think it was announced in 1969 so you are right.
Well done.

Good that a nice Frua design was not wasted.
