0 fv1609 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I can't speak for the prices in Germany, but auction sales in the UK in 1967 large numbers of Champs were going for £50-85 and the relatively few Land Rovers £130-160. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father had such a set-up on his 1954 Hillman Husky. I don't know if it is still the case, but it meant that, for a very long time, indicators could be amber or white at the front and amber or red at the back. I think the same applied, though for longer, in the USA where the amber indicators took longer to become popular. OT but interesting as I never knew this. I though that in the UK trafficators be they semaphore with a static lamp or flashing lamps has to be orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wally dugan Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) SEMIPHORES were always orange but flashers were first fitted with amber lights on all new cars after 1958 debate on this first was discussed in 1955 Edited November 19, 2023 by wally dugan correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
