Does anyone know what the knob is, all the way to the right on dash?
In the Elford Monte Carlo winner.

Circled in red.
My best guess is a push button switch for the map light.
It is not shown on the color photo replica car
Seen below

And what is the luggage anchor in the door to hold?
Attachment 584983
just a guess - a horn button for the navigator to use when the driver is busy ??
cheers
Dennis :)
I don't know the usage, but I know it's a Bosch product
In the sister car (toivonen) the luggage anchor is for the Jack.
The button on the dash was not for the horn since in that car the horn by the navigator was operated by foot.

Is this the, operated by foot, horn button circled in blue?

And, below, could this be the Bosch switch on the dash?

Comfort seat and 420mm steering wheel in a works Rallye car? Wonderful. :)Quote:

My Guess is:
cigarette lighter.
Vic and others were very heavy smokers, so navigator could light up without interfering with Vics shifting....
If this lighter outlet was for the hand held search light it would not have the knob still in place.
On off switch is on the base of the period Butler lights - not remote.
It does not look to be the same as this Butler lamp light as in the first photo of this thread - but the out of focus looks to have a similar switch base.
yes, I noticed the switch on the map light....so that should rule that out.
here is another photo
the red car. earlier Monaco...also has something on the far right....which, to me looks like the hole of a cigarette lighter.
Or maybe just 12volt power outlet.

Are the window winder and/or shift knob 64/65 or as used later?
Richard
Any idea what the Vin # is on the red one above.
John
Looks like this button I have.
My GT had a starter button just like it rather than the key.

thats a nice looking button switch.
and the red, wood dash, car was the Linge, Falk car. but I found no VIN.
but apparently fuses, taped to the steering wheel.

The 1965 Monte Carlo 911 driven Linge by Falk was SN 300055 with plate S-UV 333

Alamy has a great shot of Elford at the 1967 Lyon-Charbonnieres rally. Elford raced 911S SN 306655S or 306657S with plate S-YS 847, the same car he used at the 1967 Monte Carlo rally.

One interesting detail: The three switches in the center of the dash appear to be labeled B W and H. The B and H are also just visible in the interior photo from the 1967 Monte Carlo rally.

Really nice photo, and showing a longgg butler map light.
The steering wheel with modified horn button is pretty cool too. Looks shallower than standard like it was trimmed down. Given it’s an aftermarket wheel, I wonder how they have it attached..
