A CLEVER FACELIFT AND A BELATED SUCCESSOR TO THE 1600E

The GT two-door is dropped and the MkIII is facelifted in October with rectangular headlamps for the XL and above, plus a more ergonomic fascia. All 1.6-litre versions are now powered by the OHC engine and the GXL is replaced by the luxurious 2000E. PRODUCTION FIGURES 165,541
