Any ideas as to the long external lever on the Boyd Carpenter.. looks far too long for a gearshift but lacks any locking facility for a handbrake ?
Excellent selection of photos,thanks for sharing.

I can only assume it's a supplementary hand brake; the central handbrake is probably too far under the dash to use conveniently, so the external hand brake can be used during normal motoring, and the driver has to dive under the dash to put the parking brake on!
