I got this magazine for Christmas, which has a very long and detailed review of the new Volvo 343, with some great pictures and drawings. Unfortunately, I can't read Italian, so I have no idea whether it is a positive review or not!

Enjoy the pictures (click to enlarge)

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Do you think those indicators are white, or is that just the glaring italian sun?

Yes I know - the cover looks really strange with clear indicators, but the pictures on the inside are clearly orange. They also have side repeaters, which MY77 outside Italy don't have. I think it was an Italian requirement in those days, as there is a 1976 mk1 Fiesta from Italy for sale near me, with odd-looking side repeaters.

Can't really see it properly on the moby Tom, but weren't white front indicator lenses an Italian market requirement back in the day? I'm fairly certain they were, but when they harmonised with the rest of Europe I'm not sure.

They are white on the front cover but all the other photos show them as orange.

could you post photos of the Alfa Sprint review please?

You mean the car on the cover is a different one from the car in the rest of the pictures?

The one on the cover is Italian registered and spec. Front indicators are white facing forwards and amber to the side. Still no idea when they knocked that particular requirement on the head.

Sure:

I found that front cover on the web a while ago, looks like they are white, they must be the Holy Grail for Mk1 owners!!!

Nice to see the rest of the article.
