Apart from having two tail lights instead of one and two dipped beam head lamps, about the only concession to modern motoring with my 1930 Austin Swallow has been the fitting of brake lights. The D lamps also illuminate the number plate but as I no longer drive at night it has limited value. I try to restrict my little outings to the roads that "Trundles" has only ever known; country lanes in and around Derbyshire villages. I get no hassle and more often than not a smile or a wave. I would never take an A7 on a motorway or dual carriageway these days as I know I would be vulnerable. The best improvement has been cast iron brake drums.
