Well, it's a T, so 1970 and a 13134. The unique chassis number is around 355,400 (haven't got the exact number to hand) so it places it around May 1970, in the last 4-5 thousand Amazons that were ever built.

Since it's a RHD for UK, it interests me how many RHDs were built in those final months of Spring 1970.

Lived almost all its life in Anglesey, which is the very top tip of Wales, directly on a line with Dublin. Strangely it hasn't suffered from the usual salt-corrosion that happens when a car is by the sea. It was owned by an army major who passed it to his daughter so it was in the same family for 25 years, then a chap who didn't use it at all for 5 years, then the PO. Total mileage: 95,000.

************OK, Technical Question:


It has two lights connected to the grills, a front fog-light and a spot-light. I can't see the value of either of these (we don't have much fog anymore... honest!....). But I can see the point of extra driving lights.

Q: Can I use the existing mini-switches and wiring to wire in two driving lights in place of these two and do you recommend any brands?

Thanks

Tom
