Ingo ◊ 2011-05-14 18:47	Oh, yes, now as you've said it... the door frame looks indeed Skoda-ish.
dsl ◊ 2011-05-14 20:00	I'll prompt the 127 experts that this could be Aug 79 onwards Palio edition (based on 1050 CL with rubbing strips, coachline and tints)?? I don't think Super was ever used as UK trim name, and from July 77 levels were variously C, L, CL and Sport.
Neon ◊ 2011-05-14 21:16	No it's correct as it's listed: a 1981 Super; quite rare also since was on sale only in that year (in 1982 came the 3rd series)
electra225 ◊ 2011-05-14 23:53	Neon is right but dsl is not wrong saying that the name Super was not used in UK: this car was labelled "Confortt" in UK and Super in Italy. Built between March and November 1981.

It looks as if UK 1050 CL was rebadged as Super in April 81 and has all the trim visible here. Also now realise this is not a Palio as it has ordinary wheels.
