What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Re: the "black box" on my car.

This is an electronic ignition unit of the simplest kind, "Transistor assisted contacts". The contact breaker is retained, but switches a lower current so doesn't wear out.  This was to my own design (for six volts), and has proved reliable for 15 years.  Not rubber mounted, just on two different thicknesses of metal spacer to leave room for the loom to pass underneath.  Even though modern tech, I tried to make it look as if it was made in the thirties.
