Bit late to this, but pretty all the systems are 12v apart from the motor. Lights, windows, doors, audio, washers, power steering, abs etc

And the water header tank is for the battery cooling but it does have to have a special anti-freeze

And not to turn the thread into an EV thread. I was surprised when Renault told me they had to change the battery to fix a fault the car had which stopped it. I thought they meant the big battery. No silly, they said, the 12v one! Apparently it's the main service item at the 5 year service - replace the 12v battery. I'll stop now.

Vic - it's a one-off Frua-bodied SM from 1972.
Vague similarities to a Maserati Khamsin - especially from the front ...
