Good grief :shock:
Is that a klaxon horn mounted along the engine.

Cheers

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem!

Yep - I wondered how long it would take for someone to spot it !
PS - I still have the Klaxon but sadly not the car.

Another question.
Is the yellow colouring on the brake block just light reflection or were the brake unions daubed with yellow paint ?

:D Do you still have the spotlights hiding between the bonnet gap ?

You have an eye for detail !As far as I remember they were dobs of yellow paint.
I do not have the driving lights but I would like to buy a set the same - Bosch Halogen 7" pencil Beam lenses. Pretty high tech for 1966. As I was on a farm at the time and we were in drought conditions, there were a lot of stock wandering on the roads looking for feed and they were a hazard at night hence the need for more powerful lights.I have a sister Bellett to the car in the pic. - sold new at the same time and I finally bought it in 1990 (90,000 mls ) and I am recreating my first car with it as I still have most of the extra bits from back then ( I think all except the lights)
