Can anyone post a definitive accessories list in a new thread to get things started?
I wonder if we can compile a photo catalogue of all the accessories like the excellent Ian Spencer did with the clocks, wheels and radios? I don't have the computer skills myself.
As better condition photos get added they replace the previous shots until we have a perfect NOS boxed Gallery
I've searched but I can't find my Accessories leaflet but to get the ball rolling I can offer pics of these accessories to start things off. The visors, amp gauge, clock and tonneau are very common and I'm certain there are chaps on this forum who have between them everything in very good NOS condition.
Fog lamp/ driving lamp Auxilary switch
Parking lamp (clamps to road side window)
Fog lamps Lumax NOS boxed
Driving Lamps Lumax NOS boxed
NOS boxed Sparto reverse light kit with bases
NOS boxed locking petrol cap
Early series sun visors
Early series rear seat squabs
NOS boxed gear lever locking kit (but rubber gaiter rotted :-(
NOS boxed 3 point seat belt (Irvin with Rootes label)
Tonneau (common)(used)
Bonnet flash
Wing (fender) mirrors with built in aerial
Microcell seats 'Contour 6 (round top) Bernd also has a pair
SII radio kit
Amp guage kit (common)
SI & SII Clocks (common)
Map pocket kit
Under bonnet light kit (probably but no Rootes illustrations available yet)
Screen /Heater kit (common)(used)
Screen wash kit (common)(used)
Radiator Blind
My 'collection' is puny compared to other members who are serious long time collectors. Come on guys - post your pics!
However the 'HOLY GRAIL' has to be the Hartwell tuning branded inlet manifold. I've only seen it referred to in writing in the early '60s. Did it really exist? Perhaps it was never Hartwell branded but the common unbranded twin Weber manifold on all HLMs? I don't know anything in detail about HLM Weber manifolds so can't say.
Don't shoot me down if you think I have got something wrong. I'm writing this from memory
