The elbow item is definately a hand operated horn, my guess for the underfloor item is friction damper, one can see it has front mounted ones.

Twin carbs and pressure-fed lubrication; I think Cutler's number 13 entry at Le Mans was the only car to have the spare wheel mounted under the tail like that.

I can see a special exhaust system but where are the 'twin carbs' ?

Thanks Squeak

Novel application of s.as. I had lever hydraulics which protruded similarly.
I wonder how the horn compared with a simple rubber bulb type .Hopefully it had a lock pin for when parked. Anyone ever seen and heard one? Although some way fron boyhood I would not be able to resist. Presumably a large leather washer or somesuch. The high headlights on the later sv Morris Minor were reckoned to cost 1 1/2 mph. What would  the horn have trimmed?

The carbs aren't drawn, but the twin inlet stacks are visible.

As Russell has identified, the Le Mans cars have friction dampers, more clearly seen on the Waite car photograph:

The horn is a standard Klaxon unit, considerably louder than the little grunt one gets from the standard Rist or Benjamin horn.

Interesting details such as the correct gearbox/propshaft universal and forward-placed gearbox oil filler...
