Main noticeable details :
The heating outlets situated at the feet become rectangular. New design for the speedometer, only one green arrow as turn light signal instead of two. The hood is now fixed with a compass which automatically self-blocks. Many hoods will be damaged by garage workers forgetting to free the stop pin before they close down the hood ! The plate " Z.A.R. " around the spare tap in the car disappears.

Colours:
For sedan only : Iceland green, steel metal blue, Texas brown, metal brown, grey for the standards. For the cabriolets only : red, white, light green, Congo green, metal iris blue, metal dolomite. Twin tints on special order only.
Available colours for the cabriolets and the sedans : black, beige.
