The production series body is easily identified by the linked Tramline trims on the flanks, the body trim being extended from the front to the rear of the car. In the revised frontal treatment the outer lamps are partly fared into the body not on a flat panel as on the Types 408 and Type 409. It was the first model to be fitted as standard with 15 inch diameter wheels on rims allowing a choice of wider treads and also suited the more commonly available tyre sizes.
The most obvious difference internally is the return of a Auto Gear Shift Lever set centrally into the floor pan.
