Whats the 870? Might have a 0 at the start of the 870. just going off memory with the code.
GB = GB series (obviously)
4 = 4 cyl auto (Manuals are GB3)
H = "High" price class (4G32 engine, I think ?)
41 = 4 door sedan
The 4 digit code is date of manufacture.
1st letter = Year (A= 1970, B = 1971, C = 1972, D = 1973, etc)
2nd letter = Month (A = Jan, B = Feb, C = Mar, etc)
Numbers = Day of month.
Your's can't be "0870" .... If it was built on the 14th Feb 1973 it will be DB14 .... but if that's the date stamped on the compliance plate, it's more likely the date the plate was fitted (rather than necessarily the date the car rolled off the line). The actual build date is what the chassic number says.
