Out and about the last few days, not least delivering another road going Invacar Type 70, and missed this game. Period Tudor washer push is nice. It turns out that the Trojan key fob was an original period design and not something made up, though it was replicated. So worth looking at them for the odd real one. Maybe it makes no difference to some as it is a small decorative item if it is cheap. The indicator/dip/light stalk could be one of the more valuable items. But I like the kaleidoscopic thinking in display and what's to not like about sweet jars.

It is like a Lucas but it has Wipac printed in a circle on the glass in the center  and lower on the glass is where 7368 appears.

Yes it is 7 inches and is for a FriskySport. They only used on the early cars but was also used on motorcycles

The old pre focus job that was made by various outfits as a pattern part. Not sure who 'invented' it but Wipac certainly got in on the act. There are different reflector designs over time, not least relating to sidelight position/mounting. Amaze your friends and fit an original Halogen bulb conversion.
