As far as I know, the early series 5 had self adjusting brakes. Due to some
decision (they sucked?) they were removed from later series 5, and replaced
with manual adustment. i looked at the picture and compared it with all
pictures in my handy dandy Rootes IPB, PN# 6600992, and it is not the same.
It may be Rapier in origin. Lou
