AHAH !!!

Now found the pre-purchase options list, and I think I have it
I will stay schtum as a I feel I sort of cheated by going for the list

I will say that at the time it was very innovative and not seen on other cars for about 30 years !

Apparently it was available 67,68 and 69 not just 68.

That catalogue is awesome….albeit they didn’t mention anything about going round corners!

Ridiculous! The ‘dealer fit’ options was a big business. Those prepared by Yenko Chevrolet are highly sought after now and attract really silly prices.

Having said that the options list is ridiculous I know for many years (don’t know if it is still the case) that no two of the ‘modern’ Minis were identical - there we over a million possible permutations and the computer would reject any ‘duplicate’ orders.

Jaws is to be congratulated for his perseverance … with a little point in the right direction.

The accessory is a device to show the driver that lights are working. Incredibly for 1967 it was achieved using fibre optics.

So how would doing that tell you if your indicator is working?

As an aside, I have just watched a programme about policing in New Zealand - they have a brilliant specific offence over there ‘Impeding Traffic Flow’ that allows them to penalise slow traffic where the driver does not have the courtesy to pull over to let others by when possible. It was introduced specifically to deal with motorhomes.

Just saying, like.

Because you said it was an accessory to show if the lights were working, not indicators.
