Traffic light air freshener to get rid of the whiff of the fag ends in the stick on ash tray

There used to be a big range of aftermarket car clocks tat stuck to the dash magnetically. Wind up and battery types. Inbuilt clocks were only on posh cars. When an old banger died you popped the clock in your pocket to transfer to the next one. Sadly died out when even the most basic cars were fitted with clocks from scratch.

Haha liking the idea of that may have to keep my eye out for one now thanks

10 foot whip ariel, mind you plod will make you clip the end to the bumper!

Haha yeah may not get away with that one

[MoggyBlue]

I still have the flat cap! Remember those reflective things that 'slid' onto the edge of the door? Early elf and softy. They collected muck and promoted rust very well.

Honestly saw some nos of them on ebay the other week but thought I'd better not glad I didn't now

One thing I am pretty certain you wont find, those stick on "anti misting" panels that were popular in the 60's. My father had an F series Victor in light grey with a white flash that came with one of those stick on anti mist panels on the rear screen, that would have been about '64

I'm sure others will remember them, usually sort of oval with a thick black adhesive border, I think the idea was that air trapped between the layer of glass and the layer of polythene would stop the centre of the rear screen misting.

My Beast still has a genuine 60's Esso Tiger sticker on the n/s/f quarter light and a Radio One sunstrip from the frequency change that took place in the late 70's. Add to this the 70's mw/lw radio, an early cassette player and 2 pod speakers that I found under the dashboard, I must hook them up and see if they work.

Haha that would be awesome but have been debating about rear window demisters for a long time lol and haha yeah maybe you should must say though on ebay there is someone selling like a job lot of nos transistor radios holders that hook on the window haha

[MoggyBlue]

2 extra rear fog lights aimed forwards under rear valance to illuminate the rear axle & diff

Haha liking th idea bit think maybe I'd I was hot rodding it ;) hehe

[MoggyBlue]

Peco exhaust 'booster'.....worth an extra 5 bhp I imagine........

Haha I think I need that 5 bhp xD

[chesney]

For me, it's a period suction-cup compass, and a 'Mini-Me' Lledo Traveller blu-tacked over the speedo hump (comes in handy for parking tickets - slot in nicely under the front wheels). Also three auxiliary gauges and a cassette stereo.

One idiot in the village I grew up in the late sixties and early seventies took a Black and Decker electric drill and bored several quarter inch holes in the silencer of his Ford Anglia. He thought it sounded like a Ferrari. The local policeman, my late father certainly gave him a good talking to!

[MoggyBlue]
