The Spectrum+ wasn't actually on the shelves until late 1984, so it could be either year. The original rubber key model also soldiered on alongside until early 1985, but I'm pretty sure any advertising would have been for the new model.
Certainly Summer 1983 or later, as that's when the retail prices dropped to £99.95/£129.95
