Some questions about my new car.......
The chassis number is MA2S5 1041XXX which I worked out from Ray Newell's book as being around mid/late September 1963. If this is the case then the car should have the earlier flashing brakelights I think.
It currently has the L488 sidelights:
but late rear clusters:
So, I'm guessing it's been converted from flashing brake lights to later indicators (hence the later rear clusters).
The only issue is, the wipers are the later tandem type and not the clap-hands type. I thought the wipers and the light units changed over at the same time, but perhaps with it being so close to the changeover date then perhaps they car is a bit of a hybrid!
Ideas folks?
Also, what are the general opinions about having flashing brake lights nowadays? Do people notice them or do they have to have a large orange flashing light??
And......... the date of first registration is april 1964, so according to the chassis number it would have sat around for 6 or 7 months prior to being used. Is this sort of figure correct for 1963/64?
