Early fastbacks did have those chrome finishers over the rubbers. Looks good I think but sadly mate way for cost savings along with other things on the later cars.
That rear window seal arrangement looks interesting. I don't remember seeing anything other than the square rubber seal I've got on mine. Is it something the factory 'experimented' with on the early cars?
Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda').
Yes, Res still not met last time I looked. I saw it on 'the bay' last year for just shy of £3k as non-runner with bodywork issues: seems someone has spent some money on it. Has 'BWHHO' chassis suffix which makes it an auto originally. Couple of pics I saved from e-Bay Feb 15. G
