1966 or 1967. I get fuzzy when I have no books handy. There certainly were
cars sold in France for the 1967 model year. Maybe in 1966, too.
I don't recall any other "inexpensive" car with the classic race-car
longitudinal layout EVER being sold in the USA. The Pantera, at $10K, was
rather expensive in it's day.
