I'm with Pierre, Howard, Clive and Rutty. My Spitfire had seemed to have become invisible on the road now that everybody else has DRL. I have wired the side lights to come on with the ignition (via a relay) but I put a diode in the circuit to stop the rears coming on too, on the basis that the brake lights need all the contrast they can get. Bizarrely, my modern (a 22 year old Saab) doesn't have DRL.

I can confirm DanM's information about the Mk2 only having floor mounting points for the seat belts. When I bought my Mk2 in 1985 it did have 3 point belts but the 'over the shoulder' strap mounted to the same floor point as the lap belt. I'm afraid that I can't be any further help on originality as, 32 years later, only the chassis, engine, seat frames and steering column are unchanged from the car I bought. Adrian
