OK now I get it.......and a ducktail too you don't still have that floating around in the garage do you Gary

No evidence of opening 1/4 vent windows being fitted in the cardex

Unfortunately I sold the ducktail in 1982 for $150.

Wheels on the ground now a steering wheel in place heaving been recovered.

Yes I know I need to take it off again to install the clam shells

Another unique thing about this car is that it was delivered from the factory with the indicator switch on the right. Its even mentioned on the cardex.

Perfect date 9/68 wheel and correct leather trim 400mm wheel for an S car.

Re done by Gary Blackman as old leather was harder than a rock and becoming unstitched.

Indicator on the right? Wow, learnt something new!

[Terminator]

Yes when I checked out the cardex it said that, so I removed the clam shells and the wiring was all wrong as someone had switched them back (as you might expect) at some stage.

Apparently common for UK deliveries.

When I put them back where they were supposed to be all the wiring fell neatly into place again.

WOW Never seen that option........It's looking really nice Clyde.

Two Aus del swb cars I have are also placed on the right.

I never even considered that it may have been done pre delivery... my '72E was on the right and I changed it back

[damianroyce]

My 71E indicator stalk was also on the right

[Classic]

If all the above cars were optioned with the indicator stalk on the RHS it's another interesting change to our RHD cars, that the factory apparently made as an option.

You never stop learning about these cars do you?
