Clear Hooters Horns On Spitfire MK1V Before Commisson Number FH16996

[Nigel MK1V]

I would be very grateful to anybody who might have a Spitfire MK1V produced before commission number FH16996 which might still have the two original Clear Hooters horns fitted.

On page S6 (01-68) of the parts catalogue the horns are listed as:

156277/2 Horn, Super Post -RH

156278/2 Horn, High Note - LH

Could you possibly confirm the right hand horn is marked HH and the left horn just H. I believe the super post refers to a HH horn. Very high note. But I might be wrong on this.

A photo of the two horns would be brilliant.

Thanking eveybody in advance for any help.

Used on other cars of the period, I found this one for sale under 'Sunbeam'. Also marked 116 on the body, if that's a model number.

we used them on trucks too   commer/dodge   was a std fitting in the 70/90s

remember testing lucas and clearhooters out on an airfield   50yds or so away 

on the basis we couldnt hear either we bought the cheapest ..clear hooters as a base low with highs added on certain models no idea of the type numbers 

too many years gone by
