I did not know this either. I had to look at my bonnet to spot the difference. Look at the last picture of the bonnet. There is no "pressed" line along the front edge. On later bonnets there is.

A swallowtail bonnet does not have a crease on it at the front


Swallowtail ^^^


Non Swallowtail ^^^

Not the best photo to show what a later bonnet looks like but the best I can find atm. It has a line that goes along the front of the bonnet that connects with the creases going down the sides.

Just gave it a good wash, I'm pretty sure I pulled out about 10kg of dirt out front under the guards!!




Few things are on the list to fix.

• Polish
• Straighten bumpers
• Fix brakes, they don't feel 100%
• Change suspension, feels really soft/shocks feel stuffed.
• Fix Ignition switch
• Fix 1/4 vents

The most urgent thing is to fix the 1/4 vents, they are taped up atm. Anyone got a good set or a set of sealed ones?

jeez GLS are rare to find.

but your mk1 is looking good. Polish her up and she will be tip top
