Somehow my mind decided to go with 1977 for an unexplainable reason Although I do now remember that in some markets this was considered as 1977 model, because they received these facelifted models in Sept. 1976, but currently I can't remember which markets I had in mind. -- Last edit: 2022-12-17 20:06:41

In Japan the facelift occurred in October 1975, and may have been introduced around new year 1976 for the Norwegian market. Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic markets had a large share of Japanese cars at the time and may have received them before, say the French, West German and British markets.
