I can but echo Bill's comment.Looking through the pictures I am thinking yours is a crossover model with the later front sidelight/indicator units, black wheel trims single rail gearbox (reverse next to third)? Ian. |

You'd be correct Ian, a non-HL with a single rail box, am I right in thinking its a bit of an oddball? Also has the earlier number plate lamp and an under-rider-less front bumper which I personally haven't seen before Also supposedly never came with headrests from new but has the holes in the seat |

Mine is the same, build date of September 75. Absolutely was correct for the build time, but I've since ditched the plastic wheel trims...... |

Yes it should have bumper under riders. There are two types, the rubber on early ones protruding well proud of the bumper whereas later cars had a neater more compact rubber. (I think your car should have the later type) I think head restraints were an option at the time your car was sold? Early cars didn't have them even as an option. Later HLs had them as standard.

Replacement oil pressure switch has arrived from Robsport, cranked it over with the coil disconnected and the light went out! On with the coil and she fired into life with no oil pressure light, have finally got round to stripping off the dashboard wood panels for her indoors to refurb |
