it could be either on a '73.
The easiest way is to look at the rear lights.. if they are the more modern square ones, you need the wider black plastic grille. If it has the round rear lights, you need the earlier chrome grille. Unless.. it is an early car that has has a new front panel fitted.. older front panels are now NLA and there are a few cars that have been repaired with a later front end. Nick |

thats what I was saying. You have the later front panel.
Have a look at a '74 onwards car and you will see what I mean. The car must have had the front panel changed at some point. |
