Mark’s is also a 2.4S , but black interior… Steve’s was brown interior from memory?
I thought all 2.4s had black lens surrounds. Though I could be wrong (just 73MY) and equally Mark’s could just have shiny ones fitted because they look nicer.

Maybe I’m thinking of Ian’s former yellow car. That was a 2.2 I reckon.

1972 models still retained the chrome-rimmed lenses & chrome horn grilles - the black-rimmed lenses & black horn grilles were introduced with the '73 models ...

Started to polish my window frames yesterday to get rid of the worst of the scratches, a job I’ve been putting off for years, but ultimately quite satisfying!

Yes - those were the 'after' jets. Previously I'd had 34mm chokes, 135 mains, 200 airs, F11s and 55 idle jets. Pump nozzles were the same.
Biggest problem yesterday was the ambient air temperature being so high that it affected the AF ratios, richening up the readings due to lack of air density.

Picked up, in my 914, a sheet of paper my son had framed.
