'77.5 924's

On the US fleabay i've seen drivers manuals for 1977.5 924's.
Was this car any different to the '77 & '78 models - i don't think we had a '77.5 in the UK so what's the story behind this version?

If I remember the difference is the early 77's had a four speed transmission, and slightly smaller valves in the head.

Late 77 also had a 4-speed - key difference is the engine, higher output in the later US models (no diff in the EU models IIRC).

I have a 77.5 and it does have a 4 speed and a higher output engine. What else do you want to know?
