Time to go 12volt?

[Chris KC]

The general standard of driving around here is so poor now that I fear for my life every time I go out - vintage car or no. However I don't have any doubts that I can be seen (if they are looking). My 6v A7 dynamo was expensively but professionally overhauled decades ago and has never missed a beat since. I can't help wondering how often most owners contemplating 'upgrades' really drive after dark? For sure there are stalwarts among us who do, but many nowadays arrive at rallies with their cars on trailers, in which case it becomes somewhat academic...
