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.

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.
