In a moment of insanity (given Sunday's weather forcast) I've volunteered to take my car to the local church fete to help with their fund raising. There's another classic car there who is doing a competition to guess the age of the car plus the age of the driver. I'd like to do something different.... and I think a spot the difference competition would be fun.

My 2 door saloon is from 1960, but she's got different seats, engine, lights, speedo.... I've come up with about 15 things so far. But if this is going to work I need some pics for people to compare to. Does anyone have any photos of original looking cars made around 1960? I'd need front, back and side, engine bay, interior showing dash, and interior showing seats. If you can manage to show where the heater knob should be in the dash shot, that's even better :D Also, does anyone know when the green flash indicator stalk was fitted as standard? What about the parcel shelf?

Thank you!!! You can email pics to lynda AT xaqithis dot com (no spaces).

Mine is a 1960 all original except for the aditional indicator switch just under the dash. Not concourse but let me know and I'll take some pics for you.

I'm sure the indicator stalk and parcel shelf were fitted as standard much earlier than 1960
