Do you mean 2.3-2.6 volts or 2.3-2.6 amps...? The "Dorset" site suggests using a bulb of 3.5-4 volts, but then mentions a 6v 0.3 amp bicycle lamp, but this is all about repairing the later ignition light which is separate from the switch panel.
My car does have a mixture of parts ....hydraulics, 17" wheels, Nippy manifold & carb, 4speed sports box etc, but the electrics are basically 1931(AG)
I have happily (innocently!) used 12v 2.3 bulbs in 6v cars....I happened to have them left over from when I had a TR3A!
Just a bit dim....!
I wish you success with the TuV, I have a friend in Osnabruck rebuilding an XK120 (he bought it from USA 40 years ago and is at last getting it together...!) and it is a real problem knowing what they will accept. I think your car is really interesting. All "specials" are different as I am finding out!
