| X8795 Extract from Hsl/LG22.12.24. X.8685. EAC. 'V' SERIES X.8790 X.4187. We recommend that we prepare, so that we can, if necessary fit the governed Scintilla magneto and the standard battery ignition on 'V' series. This arrangement does work quite satisfactorily and was fitted to 93-NK car which was approved by Sales. It has the advantage that we retain two completely independent ignitions. The Scintilla magneto is considerably more silent than the Watford. | ||
