Boot light bulb

I replaced one of these in the boot:

That was because I'm a bugger for leaving the boot lid up with the tool box in it while I'm doing stuff. But all I got with that was one really bright spot in the middle of the boot.

So I replaced that with one of these:

And quite literally, the whole boot lit-up. I'd take a picture to show you, but that would mean tidying the boot and it's too cold. But trust me, it works well.

Unfortunately, I could only find the COB Type 12V LEDs at a reasonable price from China - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-DC-E10-L ... SwAsRfMgwU - and in pairs. But for £3, even with 15 days delay, they seem very reasonable.

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.

Factory 1977 TR7 Sprint FHC VVC 697S (Now all of, but still needs putting together)
B&Y 73 Dolomite Sprint UVB 274M (kids!)
1970 Maroon 13/60 Herald Convertable (wife's fun car).
