The lights on the back are smaller like the ones on the cabbies, but what about the early dash with just the two clocks in the middle? Is that part of the Swallow too  :undecided:

den den da ! I'm here !  :laugh: :laugh:

I don't know about the differences in the interior, but the swallowtail mk1 has a slightly different hatch. See the pic below and note the swage line under the number plate and that's how it gets it's name. They seem to be very, very rare these days.  :smiley:

The tail is the only difference. Just a subtle styling change by VW meant there were only a few of these with a swallow tail. I wouldnt pay anymore for one to be honest but then there are the real purists that prob would!!!

No, there are hundreds of differences between the early Golfs such as the swallowtails and the later models!!
