The first issue was replaced by the mark II in 1969. The redesign of the front and rear ends, as well as the very worthwhile revision of the interior, was done by Michelotti, the original stylist. The technical changes were minor, the most important one begin the increased rear track width. It was considered a well thought out evolutionary step by most.
Continued into the mark II era with the rear end unaltered.
The PI also continues as a mark II with basically the same changes as for the basic 2000 model. In addition, the petrol injection system was refined.
The last of the breed. In 1974, the grille was replaced.
The saloon got its ride height increased, suspension softened,
compensated by an anti-roll bar. The 2.5 litre
model eventually became 2500TC and 2500S, losing
its petrol injection and 33 horses.
The 2000 model had its twin Zenith/Stomberg carburettors
replaced by SUs, and was renamed 2000TC.
In South Africa, the 2500TC was named Chicane.
Production ceased in 1977.
