Thank you everybody for this very helpful information :-) I can now start fitting it for extra peace of mind/safety - A long time ago (late 1970s), I had an under bonnet electrical fire in a fairly new Stag and ever since I have carried two good fire extinguishers. Fortunately, I've been lucky in never having to use them on my own cars but on a couple of occasions they have come in handy for other motorists to use. Thanks again Rod

Please could someone advise me on how to fit this kill switch? It has two connectors for large cables and on the base two connections marked '1' and another two marked '2'. I want to fit it in my 1958 TR3A, now negative earth with an alternator and dummy regulator box. I will be putting it in the cockpit within easy reach in case of an emergency (there's nothing like the smell of burning plastic in the morning . . . ) I'd like it to completely shut down all the electrics. Many Thanks Rod

Rossleigh Limited had Triumph dealerships throughout Scotland and North East England from the 1930s (or before) all the way through to selling TR6s in the 1970s. Here's an advert from the Dundee Courier, 26th November 1931. Rod

Interesting topic. I learned to drive on a grey Ferguson, when aged ten. Wikipedia mentions that the Antarctic Expedition took seven TE20s, four petrol and three diesel: A fleet of seven Ferguson TE-20s was used on the 1955–58 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition which was led by Edmund Hillary. Four petrol-engined and three diesel models were used. Some were supplied as half-tracks, with steerable front skis, whilst others of the New Zealand team were fitted with an extra wheel on each side and full caterpillar tracks, developed by the expedition in the Antarctic. In both cases,
