Thanks for your reply , all sorted I just taped up spare lead and cars running fine been to two shows since and never missed a beat, like David said if it’s fitted with electronic ignition which it is formoco ,it shouldn’t have ballast resist coil

Martin did you get your name from Johns van parked next to my Cortina Crayford in the garage.?
Nope. Driving a Grantura since 1997 and I'm afraid I wasn’t very imaginative when starting at pistonheads some years ago. smile

Prefer the Mk 1 Cortina rear lights to the Mk 2 on the Vixen / Tuscan..
Another Griffith for sale on the Race Car Direct online site as an example/
Can you post some more pictures of your Crayford Cortina?
I have a mere 4 door saloon ,but has been owned from new ,some 58 years ago.

This Griffiths is still up for sale i read a little while ago..

I was looking for a picture of a early Lola race car that used Mk 1 rear lights,which to me is a proper turn on.but i cannot find it in my gallery.

Such a very long shot ,but decades ago i nearly gained employment at a glass bending premises at Gallows Corner,Romford ,Essex.
I did some research into the company and they specialised in such things..

Other than that . that Reubyn chap who prepares TVR Racers will be sure to know of acquiring one..

Hello RONV , looking as good as when me and Christopher had a close up look at it when we were picking up the GEM moulds a few years ago.
