Cool Coat hangers

So I was refitting my drivers side grab handle after removing the glasses case I had fitted ( free if anyone wants it) and after looking at the others, because I'd almost fitted it upside down I noticed the rears have little hooks on them to hang coats etc After owning the car for a gazzilion years, it's the first time I've noticed them
Anything on your cars you didn't know you had?

So, where have you been hanging the top half of your Black Tie when going out to funny handshake and trouser-leg events all these years, Ronnie?

I only attend the events in my capacity as the official Punkah Wala, Ronnie.

Who says we are not integrated into the highest levels of British society?

Isnt there a very long thread that states things your car had but didnt know, it really shows the thinking that went into the cars design.

Also, the screw covers on the grab handles when pulled open with your finger nail lock the grab handle in the down position so you can hook a coat hanger on them

Didn't think you wore coats in your neck of the woods, just varying length of sleeves on your T shirts depending on the weather.

Probably why I've never noticed them Steve
But more likely I don't go in the back much

One thing I haven't seen in years is a coat hanger in place of an aerial, it used to be common place.
