Are sure it is Special and not Especial? (and de Luxe for vinyl roof)

As far as I can remember the one I saw in Malaga a few years ago was badged Special like the french 1100:s are.
A quick search didn´t result in any readable badges, but an article in spanish about a 1200 Special:

About De Luxe I don´t know, there seems to have been versions of the Special. But I believe they all had the vinyl roof.

Muy bien! :D So Barreiros kept the original french designation, but people tend to say it in spanish (especial), which is more natural. Thank you for research!
The one you find had all chrome grille, I know that they opted for Black and chrome later, but the one in the film seems to be without grille. Enough said, we must stay with Special
