Not quite, the +2S style dash with the central ashtray and four warning lights continued for the first year or so of the S/130 production
The change in dash came with a complete revision of the electrical system from chassis 0732L onwards. As well as the dash layout, the under-bonnet relays and fuses were deleted/repositioned.
