Cuban Combi,s by John[_28_]
Watched a travel show on Cuba and there was a bay window Combi which appeared to have a black radiator grille in the front panel. As opposed to having a radiator hanging off the bull bar with hoses to a Subaru engine in the back. Anyone know about it?

A light horn? by Mr. K[_2_]
I think it's more an AutoBahn thing, but I'm thinking of a light horn. Any ideas? It's to go on a '71 Ghia. I might add air horns too. -- Karma, What a concept!

"Generator" light glows rather dimly by Mr. K[_2_]
of course only while the car is running. turning on the lights doesn't seem to make it brighter. Is this to be expected in a 42 y.o. type 1. I just replaced the regulator with a Nueva any ideas? -- Karma, What a concept!

Nomenclature Help? Boot, bonnet and ? by Veteran[_2_]
Is this right? The Boot is the truck or is it the cabriolet's top? The Bonnet is the hood over the engine. But is that true for a rear engined one? A RagTop is the sunroof model. Or as the Americans call ; a convertible. I'm confused. -- Karma, What a concept!
