To me the original front appearance is so appealing: the bonnet slightly protruding over the hooded lights, like my Basset Hound when she knows she's pinched my supper and is begging forgiveness.
The only change I've made is to substitute stainless mesh which I immodestly think has improved the classic design - but each to their own.

The face lift was carried out in order to keep up with the competition, as if they could!, in anycase to modernise the look, they failed as the original was always best.
Would have I bought one, yes indeed I would, you see the 75 was always a great car, but it was killed off on the day of its launch, the rest is history.
