I think @guitars4you is about right on the model in question. The matsumoko.org site is where the hard core fans hang out and likely have the definitive. But at about £200+ it will be a reliable easy to play instrument that is unlikely to go down much in value.

But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

I reckon for the money they punch well above their weight. Seems a well put together guitar and is aging nicely (early 80's). People seem to be chasing Greco, Burny etc but the same era/factory Aria slip under the radar.
Neck plate states as follows:
aria pro 2
accurate bolt on system
6032005
made in japan
I hated the neck on mine and didn't keep it long enough to tinker with it or get used to it.
Generally speaking the Aria brand produced good solid guitars back then, at all budgets, the mid to top end were particularly good.
after the Matsumoku factory closed (1986) production moved to Korea with mixed results, then further afield to Indonesia iirc and elsewhere, depending I guess where labour was cheapest.
