Notes body From the fourth series onwards, the B20 featured “polarized” (i.e. tinted) glass, a rear reversing light and a windscreen washer. The exhaust pipe outlets were chrome-plated. Weight increased by approximately 50 kg. It appears that some “fourth series” cars were built by Maggiora and Bertone, coachbuilders to whom Pininfarina is said to have subcontracted production due to its heavy workload.
