The distributor cap has the leads flat , with three pointing one way and three the other, right? That my friend, is a rare, lovely M189 motor you have under the hood.
Be nice to that distributor cap, it's about 300$US to replace it. Most other engine parts are equally expensive. In my opinion, it's not worth it, unless you really like museum quality engineering. I have several friends who love the blasted thing (I only own two cars with that engine).
You need the "service manual, passenger cars starting 1959" to find any info on it. There were very few made in RHD. An earlier model, a 112.015 is on UK ebay now. That one is more rare than yours. As a '69, I presume your car is a 109.016 car (these are the 1st 6 digits of the chassis number BTW). There was also an identically badged 109.015 car. I forget the differences between them.

PS. The motor's serial number is above the oil filter, just below the cylinder head.
