The boot hinges were standard fittings on the Carbodies Convertibles. A Consul facia that is very similar to the Zephyr and Zodiac https://live.staticflickr.com/6159/6166995996_164ff6f8f0_b.jpg A Zodiac in another colour scheme Link to "upload.wikimedia.org"

That is I didn't understand that the Bendix drive had got stuck on the starter ring gear and tried a rolling start down a slope. Unfortunately that put too much stress on the electricity system and shorted, at least, the voltage regulator and the ignition lock. Having sortered those and the starter engine, I've somewhat scared to start the Zephyr up, as there might be other things broken. I like Lucas system for car electricity, but they could have used three bearings in the starter engine (like Bosch) instead of only two! -- Last edit: 2022-07-21 11:02:23
