Early Swallowtail

Post

Back to the top
Afternoon all,
My local paper, The Derby Telegraph, popped an old photo up on their website. The photo is from summer 1976 and has a wonderful early 1974 5dr Swallowtail in it. The driver looks happy enough with an arm on the window and the sunroof open trying to escape the heatwave of summer '76.
I thought it was a seriously cool photo and just needed to share it.
Is this car still around in someone's garage somewhere?
Let me know if it is, I'll have first refusal 🤣

Early Swallowtail

Unfortunately looking at the reg check looks like it got scrapped 30 years ago

I was hoping dry stored for the last 30 years 🤔
