Going back to my youth, my Mk2 Consul and Mk3 Zodiac, I must have wasted a fortune. amongst other things stick on "speed stripes" that really did nothing to add to the looks, an ultra violet light to allegedly stop glare from oncoming headlights, some tiny electrical/chemical device that didn't kill rust. On the other hand, some useful bits such as replacing the old valve radio with a transistorised unit, installing a squeezy button windscreen wash followed later by one with an electric pump and adding front seat belts. How many on here had the dubious pleasure of driving on crossply tyres or all round drum brakes that barely worked in reverse? A cut and shaped Duckhams oil can bonded with fibreglass resin and covered with gooey underseal made a (nearly) perfect repair to the floor and usually fooled the MOT testers.
