I always took it that, especially in Australia as we assembled quite a
number of the MkII variety (and even put a little MkII badge on the rear
of them), the primary difference between say a 67 MkI and the 68 MkII
was the all synchro box.  In fact the first thing that a lot of MkI
owners do when they buy such a car is to convert to all synchro and
essentially have themselves a MkII.

We did not have the 'pillow' dash in the MkII here (it wasn't required
by law).
