Swallowtails were late 74 to early 76 iirc modified when Mk1s went global, and different No plate shape was let into the rear panel...

Swallowtail? No.  Still desirable, yes. Maybe not as much though obviously.  How often do you see a series 1 on your travels?

Someone wants it badly enough, 400 notes for pile of sh*t with a piece of paper.  Still got 3 hours to go.  Hmmm, do I put a bid on?.....

Was kidding, it's not worth the bid, (although I do have a new rear valance to fix the panel  :grin:

That's a V5C sale.
