Not Ranked
My understanding is that COB/COX cars were not as consistent car-to-car as the CSX cars, sometimes individually spec’d by the buyer/customer and built accordingly as bespoke cars by AC. This was a different situation to the CSX cars that were, I understand, spec’d as a batch according to the supply contracts let by Shelby.
It would seem to me that the MF 135 dash lights were possibly a cheaper “knock off” of the Lucas lights, and as the “Ferguson” in Massey Ferguson was a British company, it’s conceivable that AC used those lights on COB/COX race cars.
Totally co-incidentally, I spent many hours behind the wheel of both an MF 35 and MF 135, and once in my much younger days, visited the MF factory at Sunshine in Melbourne, Australia.
Cheers!
