What? No dynamo, starter motor, voltage regulator box, lights, switches? Hey what is this Oldfart, a thinly disguised Hot Rod!!!!! Don't let Dale hear that you have lightened it by stripping out the surplus wiring. He'll go apoplectic.

Crunch - not quite, though it was penny in the meters for gas and electricity!

Well, as it was in the day "as it was, so it shall be" the dynamo has the guts ripped out, the voltage reg is decoration only, switches are not lucas, and yes it does have a starter, but being as it was, the solenoid is a press button in the engine bay, pull the knob on the dash the lights show as Smiths. No gauges at all!

That Northland Special is such an iconic car and part of our history. Not only for it's performances but also because it's the first car in NZ to have sponsorship from two opposing oil companies!

Quite a flash car in its time, but the rough and ready old GeeCeeEss had it beaten and was the true icon of the type and era.
