It needs some serious work though and it's not a swallow tail!

Why do people insist on listing things incorrectly, blatantly knows this isn't a swallow, but tries to lure people in.

Lol, I was looking at it and wondering how you would get it on the trailer, I think sweeping it up would be the best option!

It will be interesting to see what it goes for, a similar 1977 S reg rolling she'll sold for about £1600 last week although the shell was much better than this one!

HI for it to be a swallowtail it would have to be a 174 or 175 and some early 176 chassis numbers.jamie8v said

from the outside of the car the rear panel what dips down in the middle by the number plate, front bonnet has not got the swage line in, front wings have not got a bottom swage line, the boot has got vents under the glass, some early basic models have got a boot prop in instead of gas rams, rear lights are smaller like series 1s, metal door handles, smaller catches on the doors, door hinges are fully adjustable, rain trays are smaller air intakes are different fresh air vent have got 90 degree bends on them, the fuel tank sender is on the side of the petrol tank, clocks are like series ones but got little nipples on, heater controls are different, gear shift pattern is printed on the ashtray instead of gear knob, door cards pattern are a one off, bumpers have got tow hitches attached to them, there's more stuff that I have missed but that's from off the top of my head

Yall get some obscene prices for things…. This would be a 200 or less car over here.
I have had some Balk at 2500 for my green cabby…
it has about 213K top all 3 layers/shocks/struts/tires less than 3 years old, Automatic…. needs fender and lower valance replaced.
So I suspect that I could get 5000 for it over where ya'll live.
