I've told this story before, but its true. My clock on the 54 TF never
worked, for all the years I had it. In 1990 we shipped the car to Britain
for the NEMGTRegister's COB. The first day out of Liverpool, I noticed the
clock hands had moved from the position they had for years. Unbelievable
but the clock was running. I set the time, and it ran the whole 23 days of
the event. On return to the U.S. the clock stopped, and hasn't run since.!
