The link below goes to a list of Leblanc Clarinet serial numbers. If I understand this chart, it was probably made in 1998, but since they restarted the numbers in 1984-85, it might have been made in 1983 during the earlier run of numbers.
Since 1983 began with D25636 and ended with E13604, if the D-numbers ran all the way up to D35614 before they went to E-numbers, that would have been a run of 23,582 Vito instruments made that year. In 1982 they made 24,056 Vitos, so that's possible.
What I don't know is when the V40 model came out. Somebody else?
That clarinet was produced in 1996.

The Vito Reso-tone is a great instrument for beginners. I play Vito Reso-tone Bass Clarinet, I've played a regular Vito clarinet as well.
Vito is one of Leblanc's brands and are good quality beginning to intermediate instruments.
$80-$300 used, depending on condition.
Condition make a big difference. They often sell for as low as $50~75. A plastic Vito (or Normandy) in good, clean condition, and ready to play might range from $100 to $200, a little more for something real special.

Leblanc, under their Vito product line, made a plastic model called the Dazzler which came in a variety of colors. The Vito is an excellent clarinet and it is still possible to find one, but not particularly easy. Every other brand I've seen that comes in colors other than black are cheaply made items from China or Taiwan.
Vito Picone's birth name is Vito Joseph Picone.
