Your trafficator switch is correct for a 2 door series 2. As you say the dip should be on the floor, would love to see some more snaps

Do you have trafficators, indicators or both? The switch to the right is for the trafficators and the foot dip switch appears to be hanging down beside it with a blanking plate on the floor where the dip switch should be. There is also a non standard switch next to the wiper switch by the windscreen.

the none standard switch is for the washers , some one had moved the dip switch to the dash (I thought it should be on the floor) the car has trafficators and indicaters fitted , not sure if the indicaters where standard but now fitted they can stay as it might be a good idea , looks like the heater (smiths) does not take air from out side .

the early smiths heaters dont have an external intake for air, its correct for 1953

Perhaps a 'short' person couldn't reach it with their foot!
