Originally the car would have had SU HS4s - HIFs are also made by SU but
were standard on 72-76(or 77) and as per Lawries explanation earlier, are
a totally different beast! -You can tel the difference quite easily -
just use a Moss or VB catalogue, you will be able to tell which you have.
A friend told me there is a picture of my 70 BGT on the NAMGBR site under
winners at Hagerstown - its the one that came in third and apparently
they have a completely wrong name next to it - but the scruffy looking
blond dude next to the flame red car is unmistakable! (or so im told....)
I can send you a couple in the mail if you like - just send me your
address privately and ill send them
Paint your car any colour you like- thats the fun of restoring them but
as soon as you decide to paint it, youre basically dedicating yourself
to a full restoration because new paint makes everything else look like
crap!
