benny ◊ 2006-09-24 19:18	Here in Italy we use the italian "doppio rene" or a few the international "kidney".
Weasel1984 ◊ 2006-09-24 19:31	Alright, alright: kidney, double haircot, doppio rene etc. etc. ... but the date for this car is 1976, not 1972.
benny ◊ 2006-09-24 19:32	Yes, you are right, it's a 1976 restyling model!
benny ◊ 2006-09-25 19:26	If i remember well only the 518 don't had any badge on the frontal.
