Sorry - had an issue uploading and had to start over. Here are a few more. Nicest original interior I have ever owned.

Very nice example. I felt the attention to the build quality of this brand about that time was great personally.

For the pictures of your wonderful new car and for the glow plug amperage details .

As a Fleet mechanic I'd put the fuse or circuit breaker as close to the battery as possible .

That is a beautiful finney. Mine was that color but had a navy interior. The white steering wheel was lovely.

On the salt shaker starter switch pulling it to the glow position powers the glows, then puling it out to the start position closes a heavy switch which looks like the contacts on a solinoid. There is a fabric link in the linkage which if worn out will not allow you to close the contacts to activate the starter. If that is worn it will not start. It is easy to replace though if you can get the part.

This post is based on the idea that it is basically the same as an early 115 car, since my finneys were both gassers.
