Desperate endevour

Post by markattard »

Just in case one of you might have spare warning lights (Which I beleive to be common between seriesII and MM, sorry if I'm wrong!) for headlamp main beam and side lights, these are situated under the grille in the dash.

Your contribution would greatly help having a very original series II back on europe's roads :roll: :)

(from one Maltese to another, "Kiff inty" I'm sure I spelt it wrong)

Mark I'm about up to the same stage as you with my MM Tourer and I am missing the bulb holder as well. I always thought that they were more a dashboard/switch illumination rather than a warning light?

I was thinking of adapting a modern bulb holder to gfit somehow as it is really unseen.

I imagine that these items are quite rare. People don't realise that they are there when they scrap a car.
I will have a look around at the National Rally and see if I can find any.

Hi Oliver, nice to hear from a Maltese Australian!! MM tourer must be a hell of a job to restore! My series II was a pig to do as well but now I,m counting the hours to have it finished. Did you post any pics of your resto?

Regards from sunny Malta!

Yes mate I've had it for 14 years, I won't say it has been constantly worked on as there was about a 10 year gap, but it is comming along nicely now, with my other as well.

You can see some pictures on this link.

What a lovely MM tourer Oliver. Keep sending pictures of the restoration. I love the lower dashboard idea
