M = 73
N = 74
P = 75
R = 76
S = 77 = Introduction to “UK” F10/12 about July time
T = 78
V = 79

I reckon you’re about a year out mate tbh.
L 73 to T 79 (when the new letter came out that is)…eg L Aug 73 to Aug 74, when the M plate then came out and so on.
Sorry to be pedantic 
Hi Dean that Ford looks very familiar as there is one in a garage near Fishers Pond, Winchester which is now a wrecker but is the same colour as well, Buzzer.
Suedehead:

Possibly old/unsold stock, imported or parked in a barn for tax reasons, it was not unusual back then to see vehicles registered some time after they were purchased.
I think there is some unregistered vehicles from them days still stashed away now.
