I believe you are correct about the vertical chrome strip under the rear side window being the traficator (turning signal).


Just for the heck of it, I looked to see if Hemmings had one, and son-of-a-gun they had this. It's a little too pricey for me. Maybe if I hit the lotto.

Probably asking $62k more for it than when it was new

That is interesting Ava's Papa. Considering its rarity, $65,000 Canadian?? dollars may be a reasonable price if it is in good condition.

That is an interesting thought FL. I can visualise it with chrome exhaust pipes protruding out the side of the engine compartment early Deusenberg or Auburn style. However you would probably be lynched by Bristol 400 enthusiasts for tampering with such a rare car.

British cars were a common sight on Australian roads for 50 years from the 1920s to the early 1970s. During the 1950s British cars outsold all other makes in Australia.
