It's Hot - Spot the Difference - Tony Griffiths - 23-07-2021
Spot the single difference (click the picture to get the high-resolution version - and click again for an even clearer copy).
I now have the original cover, have restored it and, if you would like a very high-resolution copy (of the single cover) to make a poster you can download it here: http://www.lathes.uk/hot001.jpg

Hmm... I don't know to what you are referring, but you've changed the trafficator from a 1936-type to a 1934-type. The original illustration is/was correct for a March 1936 car.

OK, that the change - well spotted. So, Mk.1 Rubies had both types of indicator, making the early type (when fitted to the Ruby) rather rare.

In trainspotting it is called rivet counting- is this trafficator counting ?
RE: It's Hot - Spot the Difference - Tony Griffiths - 24-07-2021
It's not the number of rivets - but the change of radius of the top that's important!

"Don't laugh" he sniffs "it is critical" as he does up the toggles on his duffle coat and shuffles off in his suede boots to the next sooty station
