Horns?

Were the horns (or as the Brit's affectionately call them, hooters) on the original S/C cars manufactured by Ford or Lucas?

You can answer your own questions once you look for awhile at the vintage photos of the row of bare Competition cars sitting on the tarmac at LAX.
(most cars arrived painted)

SAI purchased a complete Ford engine/trans assembly from Ford and plugged it in and added plumbing, voltage regulator, solenoid, seat belts, wheels/tires, exhaust and "corrected" the exterior badging.

(Comp cars were more difficult... add paint and a hood scoop...)

Cars arrived VERY complete, i.e. wired, lights, horns, wipers, top, side windows, gas tanks. Even the radiator and oil coolers are English.

ANY FRESH OFF THE BOAT DETAIL PHOTOS AVAILABLE?

Lucas 9H horns, paired high and low notes.

They are still available.

I too would like to see a few pics regarding location and color.
