For some reason, I had always thought '75 was the last year of chrome bumpers, then somewhere I thought it was '78, but then I saw a '78 that apeared to have bumper, and got all confused. Can someone authoritatively straighten me out? ==AM== 1974 was the first model year to have anything of substance, in the form of the rear frame extensions and the almost cone-shaped rubber overriders front and rear. In 1975, they went to the big, more squared-off rubber overriders front and rear, and the rear bumper also got that big overlay in the center section. The "all-rubber" front and rear bumpers came in for mid-1979 and continued through the end of sales of the Spitfire in the US. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
