The picture you showed (in North America at least) would be a 73 to 76. The 77 and up had the rubber bumperettes added to the front bumper for "safety".

They kinda look cool, mini version of the 70s American Ford trucks... I will try and get a photo next time I see it.. I don't recall seeing any ugly bumpers on the local car.

BTW there was a Urus parked a few cars away.. didn't take a photo as the owner was in the car and I didn't wish to give him a boost thinking that I was admiring his SUV!!

On our way into town to do the shopping yesterday, (Saturday) we saw these cars parked at a local eatery. I dropped the wife off and drove back to have a look and snap some phone photos. The owners were all in eating so I didn't get to speak to anyone. But obviously a group of Viper owners enjoying a days outing. You don't see this every day!

Sorry, may look similar to a Lotus but it's not. It's an Elva Courier. The only car Elva built to be street legal.

This week started with a Ferrari F50 (the first I've seen on the road). The usual gaggle of Lambos, the following stood out, display of extreme bad taste.. and I then saw the driver (business suit etc, wearing white socks....).. oh this morning saw a circa 1966 Mustang (metallic blue)..
