Has the old loop ones with the 5th plug in the dash, didn't start to glow until 60 seconds! The early 115 had the same, and when I changed them for the pencil plugs you could start in 5-6 seconds

Hmmm might want to check its all grounded OK. The old loop ones usually start glowing immediately, after 60+ seconds the linkage bar woukd usually be glowing red :)

Lovely find that Rob, how have you managed to find space for it though?

The Finny was a nice car, still is. I had a 1960 220se in white with grey soft vinyl seats and column change 4 speed. I bought it, had it delivered and I never drove it. Just sat in the back yard where I admired it. Back in 1964 I used to draw the Fintail (because I loved the shape of the car) with my colouring crayons never thinking I would ever own one.
