Thanks Rich, will do.
Thanks everyone for all the other replies. I should have mentioned the
car is a 100-Six. The orange indicators may have thrown some of you. They
have been added to the car. I think I'll keep them.
This car was resurrected from the dead. You can read about it's history and
rebuild here

Weather is beautiful here in the North West of England, climate change does
have some benefits! Looking forward to more Healying today on the nearly
deserted coast road and country lanes..
cheers all
Derek
