I'd quite happily see this thread merged with mine. No hijack at all, just makes sense.

Isn't that the wrong grille for a '72/3?

I don't ever recall seeing a 133 in the wild. I read the road test in my Motor Road Test annual of 1975 and my one memory is them complaining about the excessive rust proofing!

Up to you folks!
