Hi Mike,

Figured out the coil.  Had never paid attention to the steering wheel and 
door pulls, of course we have only had the brochure 40 years <BG>  Just goes 
to show how seriously we took what was in the sales brochure's back then.

Bob,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I meant early engines, not earky
engines.&nbsp; If you look at the interior shot of the car in that 1958
ad you'll see a right hand drive car with a two-tone steering wheel and
a cord door release... ala Triumph.
