There is also interesting sort of the "découvrable" version prototype (?) on the left. Model mentioned in 1972 MY brochure, but not to buy till late 1972 AFAIK. -- Last edit: 2012-12-18 15:32:53

Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-12-18 17:16	But 17 TL had it too. If red car is the same one what in 1972 brochure (only with removed badge), then it is TL acc to it. -- Last edit: 2012-12-18 17:17:21
