Cosmetic changes included the option of a long-wheelbase version in 1972, which gave the rear passengers an extra four inches of legroom. The Series II cars arrived in 1973 with a modest facelift that included a lower radiator grille and raised bumpers to meet Federal impact legislation. More significantly, buyers were now restricted to the ultra-pretty short-wheelbase Coupé or the long-wheelbase saloon;
