Jeffds1360 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 I had two spitfire 4s and a 1600 vitesse cv in the late 60's. I could not afford to 'instrementise' them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought about getting an oil pressure sensor that has a higher rating, managed to find a supplier here in France to avoid the hassle/cost of importing from UK. My petrol gauge only goes up to 3/4 with a full tank (it is on my list of things to look at, but . . .) but by the time the petrol is down to about 1/2 the gauge is accurate enough from there, plus i tend to fill up at 150 mile intervals anyway. You would have felt right at home in one of my cars, Chris - no gauges at all! Just one switch (for ignition) and three buttons for choke, mixture and revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of feeling 'right at home' Sherwood forest - not that far from where I grew up, Chesterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could go back to the same one, as it was, now 🤔 Perhaps might be a bit more "prudent" climbing the car mountains though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
