In addition, theres a SunPro tachometer tucked away for the drivers eyes only and an exquisite Petri Banjo steering wheel with the most unique hub the 12 Zodiac signs ring the hubs perimeter.

Exterior changes in 1961 included wider and finned front grilles, taller and more rounded rear taillights and headlights relocated to a higher position with previous models and their lower headlight placement called lowlights. The Italian designer Sergio Sartorelli, designer of Type 34, oversaw the various re-stylings of Type 14.
