A "Sebring Special" was a dealer improved 1600. I can't remember exactly
what was added or changed but it was the first time the 1600 was given a
sporty image for marketing in Australia, despite its rally and track
success. It could have been a sports steering wheel, tacho, radial tyres
and a different outside mirror, plus badging? I have a feeling it was made
and sold by a (Sydney?) dealer called Sebring Motors, but dont ask me to bet
on it.
