The record

International named its 1980 packages by their engine and cylinder count — the 844 (V8) and 434 (four) Gold Stars — as the light line closed; the RS Special Limited Edition Traveler in Tahitian Red with velour was the very last.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
