Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. I did try and take a few photos but they didn't come out too well so I've only got a few my brother took:

Hi fabs,

It's 12v, it came from the old engine as the previous owner had converted the electrics and I remember him saying he was more into his 356's which I think is where these things come from. It was something a bit different and as you say "old style" Smiley

I liked the photo you took in the picture thread too.

There's a big ol' breather box underneath along with the external oil cooler. You can see the two lines run from the magneto bracket and oil filler, then underneath, both rocker covers and the gearbox are also hooked up.

I'll see if I can grab a photo.

Saw the car at Volksworld- Looks awesome! I really think the guy's at planet paintbox deserve to be bigged up a bit more for the attention to detail! love the berg 5 bulge! others that get close seem to get all the hype at the moment, whereas PlanetPB have been doing it relatively quietly for decades!  (Si, I only said 'relatively quietly'!!! You are all still punk rock!!  Grin)

I'm embarrassed to say it doesn't, I did have a look for one and most of the 5" Autometer ones are the fancy playback models and/or wouldn't suit the car. I'll just have to settle for leaving 11's on the road Grin
