Good luck. Those are the ones, popular still with rallyists and show
car types. Makes for tough eBay bidding. I'll try to dig up some old
road racers, you never know. The equivalent of finding the untouched
TR4 in the little old lady's garage, who just wants it out of there.

I should have chosen my father-in-law more carefully, I guess. If you
think it's a Halda, get on up there. Those are making Heuer dash
mounted clocks look like a great value.
In the end, this year I'll likely install a clipboard, pocketwatch, and pen
and paper. Though new Bic pens are going for $5 ea. on eBay. ;-)
