The indicators would stick out from the side of the car. Trafficators are semaphore signals which, when operated, protrude from the bodywork of a motor vehicle to indicate its intention to turn in the direction indicated by the pointing signal.
My first car was a 1951 Ford Prefect. Australian assembled. I bought it in New Zealand when I turned fifteen. That was 1971. I paid $90 for it. Probably about $45 too much! The Ozzie assembled model had an extended boot, which made it (at least appear) like a more substantial car. In NZ it was nicknamed the "Rock 'n' Roll" model because of the transverse springs. If you went around a bend at even a modest speed it would "rock" hard over on the springs and if you went any faster it would "roll" over completely! It was old before it was built and by the time it landed in my hands it was well past its use by date. I think I was its thirteenth and final owner! Even so, I remember it fondly❤️
I start mine by cranking it over with the ignition off till it starts to speed up as the oil gets to the bearings. Then switch on the ignition and run at a slightly fast idle for 5 mins before driving it. Seems to give the engine as little stress as possible and prelong it's useable life.
Nice car, I have a 1947 prefect, What mechanical upgrades would you recommend for reliability? Have had problems with starting & i think possible vapour lock (engine will cut out after running for a while)

Couldn't agree more!

Beautiful car, send it to Brazil!!!
Thank you. I have sold the E93A It's now under restoration by an enthusiast
Nice car . Needs carpet and leather rejuvenation and maybe a nice polish.
Can’t understand why owners can’t fix the choke on these cars. It’s a fairly simple job. I think there’s other fixes this particular car needs too.
I have this car
My first car
Did the clothes peg and the Tupperware come as standard or only with the deluxe version?
I'm sure it's a nackered fuel pump.

My 1950 Prefect had a similar problem and I found that the spring in the fuel lift pump had broken. Replaced the spring and all was good !
@@DMJ52 Thanks for the reply, will look into that👍 hopefully getting it up & running and back on the road this year 🤞
