Yeah… I mean there's " the rat look " but that looks like a dead rat that's been chewed by a dog and then run over several times lol

You forgot to mention that after the dead rat had been chewed by the dog and then run over several times it was then put in a damp barn for 25 years just to enhance the rat look effect! Lol.

HI for it to be a swallowtail it would have to be a 174 or 175 and some early 176 chassis numbers.jamie8v said
This however looks pretty sweet!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222489493098
So what is it that makes it a " swallow tail " ?

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
Thanks mate I will have a look on google for some pics they sound pretty cool cheers

It is a shame that the car has been left to get in that state and I would like to own series one 1.1 N as it was my first car, that one is sounding my midlife crisis alarm quite loudly but it's a proper basket case! I doubt if a tetley tea bag has that many perforations, lol!
Same moisture levels though lol
I'm hearing the call of the crisis quite loudly my self, would love a tintop but I think my Mrs would string me up as I've not long started a project on my cabby.
DOH !

Same moisture levels as the teabag while it's still in the tea !
I think my misses would string me up too, especially if I came home with that and said " alright love, could you give me a hand sweeping this car into the garage?"

Wow that's cool mate, I kinda guessed it was a member.
You know what you are in for but please share as many photos and information as you can because I know for certain this has to be one of the biggest original projects ever for this club! 👍 😀

On a serious note, does anyone know if it was a member that bought it? I wouldn't be surprised if it gets listed again, a lot of major projects seem to fetch good money on eBay but then are "relisted due to time waster " several times!

This is true I sold a mk3 vr6 years ago, well I thought I'd sold it but the buyer just disappeared like a fart in the wind.
I believe this poor chap has just suffered a similar experience. Shame as it looks like a good little car.
