Who in 1990 at TRA or VRT would have believed me that my frame had really
been yellow ? I have a photo to prove it but at that time I would have been
docked even more point for such a rediculous and non-original yellow frame.
In 1991, TRA docked me points because my dealer-installed plunger for the
wind-screen washer was "in the wrong place on the dash". It seems they had
blueprints from the factory that showed it should be to the right of the
pull choke. When I asked where the factory drawings came from and where the
steering wheel was in that blueprint, they replied "England - and it was a
sectional drawing which didn't show the steering wheel". In England, a
drawing drawn in England by an Englishman for an English car which would
have been RH drive, it would been logical to show the convenient location
there for a car with RH drive.
