Screen washers for sure, trafficators should take care of the requirement for indicators.
But for your own safety I'd say fit some flashers and maybe a high level brake light behind the rear window and remove when showing/judging.

Only legal thing you need are screenwashers. Not many original cars about now, so it would be nice to keep it that way.

Use the car regularly or you will spend all your time fixing electrics and replacing dried out seals
