Its overtly wedge-shaped monocoque body was initially only available in Coupe guise, the Convertible variant not being launched until 1980.
Power came from a front-mounted 1998cc four-cylinder engine that was effectively an 8-valve version of the proven Dolomite Sprint unit.
Its output was 105bhp, which was enough to accelerate the newcomer to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a terminal speed of some 112mph.
The powerplant initially drove through a four-speed manual gearbox, though by 1976 this had been replaced with a five-speed one.
The suspension was by MacPherson struts and coil springs at the front and a live axle and coil springs at the rear, while braking was by discs/drums and steering by rack and pinion.
First registered in April 1980 and recently subject to a comprehensive restoration, this example is finished in black with gold trim and sports...
