Tom,
My 1969 Ambo. tag reads Dec. 68 meaning it was manufactured then but sold as
a 1969. At least this is what I have been told by Guzzi Pen Pals here.
Best, Bob Hawkes

Got around to removing the nameplate on my Ambo frame today in
preparation for powder coating. I hadn't paid any attention to it
before, but the tag gives the date of manufacture as July 1969. Does
this technically make my bike a '69 or is it as the title says, a '70?
Did/does Guzzi switch model years mid stream like the American car
companies or does the calendar date prevail when determining model year?
