Ken H, funny you should say that push car at the Springs, those double Over-riders helped save the car one day up near Matapouri, Northland as i slid around a bend on a metal road and went front first into an earth bank.
That car got quite modified with twin SU carbs, a Cooper exhaust manifold, the pressed steel one, and a Rob Williams special exhaust with a Massey Ferguson Tractor Muffler [ no sales tax - agricultural equipment - before the GST regime ] with the baffles knocked out. The interior dash was modified too !!
The partially blacked out grille and the little stripe helped it go faster .. Tui ad Yeah Right !!.
The Fergie muffler look
The Dash with Barnacle brand " Oil Gauge and Ammeter" , Smiths Temperature Gauge and a Smiths Tach
Just noticed the foot operated " Dip Switch ", not to be confused with " Dip Stick " that is either under the bonnet or the guy behind the steering wheel..
Chick Magnet - well the jury still out on that, however prior to having " A Car " very hard to get a good night out," meet you at the bus stop in town " did not work
