Yes its a facelifted Mk1, nice, but I prefer the twin round headlights on the earlier cars.

on an H plate it is a pre facelift (unless someone has changed the plates), the facelift didn't happen till 2 years later in 72, the twin headlights were on certain models not all, going by the twin pipes it could well be a 3ltr which you could get with twin or single lights

I was thinking V8 due to the pipes but it sits high at the front What did the advert say? Good to see a mark 1 about, I have a mark 2 3.0s and you don't see mark 2's anymore

Could be a 3 litre as its got the bonnet bulge but high at the front end which suggests it could have a rover v8 in it.Only 3 litre GXL facelifts,RS2600,And RS3100's had twin headlights as standard.

Could be a 3ltr as the exhausts sugest as it has the cut outs too
Also its a pre facelift as its got the small back lights but someones put the later bonnet on. It not a gt as they had opening quarters
Still, a nice clean mk1 that i wouldnt say no to. Think period tunning, Headers ported heads,cam,Holley 390 on a swaymar fannymould,steel timming etc, nice strong 250bhp with equal torque, oh and stick a 280 slipper in the back for proper arse out action
