1 year ago i bought a guitar and i was totally excited and concentrated on getting a fender that i never asked the guy if i have a vintage stratocaster or not…..is it possible to find it out with this picture http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t122/sebastianyukio/l_336d7c8ab906f4cb405eb8d1593a9a98.jpg

If you have any clue please let me now…..i didnt get a paper where it says if its a vintage or just a strato.
PS: on the guitar neck it says: Fender Stratocaster original Cotour body

There is no way to tell by the picture. The best indication of the year is to locate the serial number and cross reference the information on the Fender site, the location of the serial # varies depending on when it was made and it what country. Even then you might not be able to find it without removing the neck.
Below is a link on the Fender site that will help you to figure it out, or if the serial # is readily visible I’ll help (now you got me curious). Either way let us know.
