You can find the fabrication number on the ovale plate on the right side in the engine bay.

The top number (1) is the model code
The bottom number (3) is fabrication number.

In the table below you should look for the last fabrication number lower or equal to your own, in the correct column, then you will find the year model your car have.
Note that Renault normally changed year model in August/September. Hence a car made in October 1972 is a model 1973
