Assuming everything works, what's a ballpark figure? Interior nice, couldn't read miles.

How do you feel about resto-mods?
How does the group feel about resto-mods? I have an older British sports car that is one of the most original in the world. That, of course, means it can finicky and an adventure in driving. This weekend, I ran into a guy with an older Corvette. Great looking car and on the outside looked basically original. But under the hood it was all modern and largely bullet-proof with engine, transmission, electrical (and maybe brakes). There is a lot to be said for having some modern components. Wondering if that might be a way to go for my next toy addition but as an "original purist" I haven't quite reconciled it in my head.

Cornering lights legality
I wonder if anyone can help clarify the legality of use of factory fitted cornering lights?
A friend was in an accident after dark with a vehicle (Fiesta with factory fitted LED headlights). They crossed in front of it as it was turning slightly round a roundabout. The car had a lower light fitted in a warm white which in contrast to the very white headlights looked like an indicator. The light only activates when the steering wheel is turned and blinked on and off like an indicator. They saw this light as the indicator and assumed the car was indicating to go round the roundabout.
The light in question is multi purpose and serves as a foglight and cornering light.
They understandably feel that this system is dangerous and shouldnt be legal.
The laws and regulations on lighting on cars seem to be very complicated. Would anyone be able to link to the legislation, regulations and type approval for cornering lights to help understand what is legal in the UK? Surely legislation will have to have been updated to allow their introduction and clear specifications given? Many thanks

The hood fits! For having a Miata motor under the hood I’d say it “fits”

Probably an important NLA Lucas replacement part that would be useful for any British sports car enthusiast.
