Probably worth more as parts. Optimistic to say the least.

Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda').

Not much difference I think - just the H badge on the glove box lid and an oil temperature gauge instead of an ammeter (and that might be only on the early cars - not sure).

That's right Derek, From '74 on they replaced the oil temp with ammeter like std car. Allegedly because they had a no. of worried owners' going back to the dealer because cars were showing 120/130 degrees on the gauge. The H120 leaflet insisted that the Shell oil you should use was able to withstand these temps (well around 110), but these were occurring when crusing at only 70 - 80: continental work would push it towards max. It was probably the poor quality gauges overreading . but IMHO the ammeter is more useful anyway. G.
