Hi, I'm Olivier. I live in France, In Brittany (extrem west of France). I bought a swallowtail since november 2007 in Charente (where we made Cognac  ). First registration in may 1975 Engine type = FH (1500) and 155 000 Km (~97000 Miles) I don't know if it's " GOLF" or " GOLF S"          I have too a Rabbit pick up truck (1990) and convertible (1983) |

Can you do me a favor and take another picture of the hatch lift? I'd like to know how it attaches onto the hatch itself (where the metal spring is). Thanks! |

Thank you for the badge but it's very expensive ? No ? But it's rare. I drive a swallowtail now  For another pictures of the hatch lift, it's OK, but in a few days. |

salut,
très bien ta swallow...
Comme elle n'a qu'un compteur, je pencherais pour le modèle "GOLF"

salut,
j'ai pas de cab, mais dans les annonces il y en a un dans le département 27 qui me plaît bien, c'est loin de chez toi non?
j'ai pas trouvé d'intérieur, mais à marseille il y a un magasin qui a du tissu "pieds de poule" quasiment identique... Peut-être ça t'intéresse aussi? Il faut encore trouver le sellier ensuite...

Le 27 c'est à 400km de chez moi... Demandes à JRD.
Par contre, on m'a proposé un 79 hier. Mais je ne sais pas ce qu'il y a à faire dessus. Je crois que la capote avait été faite.
Pour le tissus de ma orange, j'ai seulement le haut du dossier de la banquette qui a cuit.
Si tu as une chute de cette taille, faut voir.
Si tu trouves un nid de monogramme "GOLF" je suis preneur (selon le prix bien sûr)

Salut Olivier, Elle est belle ta poussin, je l'ai détaillée ... et comparée aux miennes: Ma Swallow a un verrin de hayon et ça semble d'origine alors que ma 76 (pas Swallow) a une "tige" fixe comme la tienne. Je pense que les "standard" avaient cette tige alors que les "luxe" un verrin ... ton avis ?? Autre truc qui "tue" à mon sens : le 1100 Swallow a un radiateur d'eau fermé qui fonctionne avec un vase d'expansion alors que mes 76/77 1100 ont un radiateur avec remplissage, tout comme mes GTi de 77 et 78 (pas de vase) ! Etonnant les VW ... on en découvre tous les jours ! In "english" ... I am telling Olivier that on my Swallow (sept 74) which is a "De Luxe" version, the rear hatch is maintained opened via a gas strut and that on my 76 which is a "standard", it is a a metal stick like on his 75. It looks to me that some equipments had been installed earlier on the GL/GLS Mk1s ! Another "strange" thing : on the 1100 Swallow engine, there is an expansion water tank, on my 1100 from 76 and 77 like on my GTis (77/78), there is no water tank ! The radiator has a filling cap ... ?! My 1976 1100 (std) has a front "Swallow" type front bonnet and rear "red" lights ! Original equipment ? Fun to discover a new thing everyday on these VWs !!!
