POINTS OF INTEREST
TC was a minor facelift of the TX, appearance was enhanced by a bolder vertical bar front grille, and at the rear by a silver garnish panel (TX was black). A new 'Smiths' heater/demister/ventilation system was used. The two small vents at the end of the dash were excluded in this line-up, except on those with air-con these vents were retained. Fashion Pack was now available on sedan as well as the coupe. This option was also upgraded to add steel belted radials and a front stabilising bar (opt. A9R). Door side impact beams were introduced; SL coupes now had a heated rear screen. One month after the release of the TC, a limited edition 'Sandpiper' was introduced. Both coupe and sedan version were on offer, they were identified by a black grille with stainless top edge, gold pinstriping, check cloth inserts in seats and door trims, wood-grain dash inserts, radio/cassette, four spoke steering wheel, and the A9R suspension package. Externally they were easily distinguished by the word 'Sandpiper' and a bird decal, this was on the side rear quarters of the coupe, and on the rear doors of the sedans.
