Hi Brad, lovely Claud Butler Torino you've got there! You can look at the catalogues by using the Claud Butler link on the left of the page here: http://www.nkilgariff.com/ . I'd guess an early 1970's model but could just be late 1960's? I've always wanted that model in Daytona yellow to add to my Claud collection!
