FYI all UK-spec cars have amber signal lenses (indicators)

I think the indicator light units are the same ones used on early Minis, 
Land-Rovers, Morris Minors and probably half the cars built in the UK in the 
fifties and sixties. The orange lens is held in place by the rubber surround at 
the base

My car (CT 11102) was first registered on 19/7/1962 in Cardiff, Wales. When I 
bought it 3 years ago it had a wooden stick to hold the boot open

I'm pleased to say the stick has survived and is still in daily use today, but 
I can't find a part number on it anywhere

The boot handle is straight. Which is more than can be said for the boot lid!
