Developments
In 1968 the 125S ("Special") was added to the range, with 100 bhp (from a modified cylinder head, camshaft, inlet manifold and Weber carburettor) and, unusually at this time, a five-speed gearbox. A variety of other improvements were made including improved trim and styling. The 125 was praised when new for its handling and dynamics.
The Special was facelifted in 1970 using pretty much the same trim as the 125S, but both front and rear lights were new, although based on the ones used on the 125. A three-speed automatic transmission also became available as an option.

Famous quotes containing the word developments:
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
