    Not seen this rear spoiler before

    Giro front end - did the giro car have that rear end too?

    That large type rear spoiler was used on other events at the time.
    The Targa for one.
    Oh, and the TDF, as shown in that photo.

    Not sure about the driving lamps but has anyone else noticed that the headlights aren't the pop up type but pods and the rear louvre is a little strange too?

    The top lamps are the same as the 1974 year rally car auxiliary pods, but obviously mounted where the headlamp would eventually be.
    The front panel may never have had provision for headlamps, so this was the easiest way to add some later?

    The top part of the rear louvres is extended to clear the air box, rather than have the whole louvre assembly lifted.
    The roof scoop is pre production too, but similar to the scoops on the LWB Le Mans cars.
