saw slight modifications to the PL 17 range.

The
dashboard was revamped with a larger speedo and included a trip odometer.

The
PL 17 was fitted with new ribbed wheels - not merely a styling artifice
but part of the new ETA (Evacuation Thermique Accélérée)
drum braking system which allowed rapid dissipation of heat and thereby
overcame the problem of brake fade. The system proved so successful
in the 1962 24 Heures du Man that it was fitted to production cars.
