Hallmarks of Series 2 cars are open headlights without glass covers. a wrap-around rear bumper. re-positioned and larger front indicators and tail lights below the bumpers. better cooling aided by an enlarged "mouth" and twin electric fans. and uprated brakes. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a more industrial "ribbed" appearance. It was de-tuned in the US with twin Strombergs and larger valve clearances. but in the UK retained triple SUs and the much tighter valve clearances. (Late Series 1½ cars also had ribbed cam covers). The interior and dashboard were also redesigned; rocker switches that met US health and safety regulations were substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical layout. A combination steering lock and ignition key was fitted to the steering column. which replaced the dash board mounted ignition switch and charismatic push button starter. A new steering column was fitted with a collapsible section in the event of an accident. New seats were fitted. which purists claim lacked the style of the originals but were certainly more comfortable. Air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options.
