Listers,
I really think this winding is for some other purpose as in the
owners manual for this car, they list the replacement bulb as a 12V, 2.4W.
Could this be for some type of induction to light the bulb only when curent
is flowing through the wire?
Regards,
Bob

This is just a guess, but it COULD serve as an energizing circuit for the
generator, if the generator lacks a field winding relay. It could also act
like the "warning lamp simulator" used on later alternator equipped models of
both Sunbeams and Humbers, along with other Brit stuff. When current was being
generated, the power heated a wire inside a flasher-like device, which in turn
broke the contact to the warning lamp, thus extinguishing it.
Either way, I know I don't have one, but if I run across one, I'll let you
know! ;^)
