Service Bulletin CDROMs

Does anyone have one or more of these CD-ROM's? They were issued around 2003.

Flagstaff manufacturer

Quite a while ago somebody posted the name of the original manufacturer of the flagstaffs as used e.g. on the bonnet or wings of the DS420.

Does somebody remember?

Thanks,

Re: Daimler DS420 gathering at Gaydon, May 14 2023

Re: DLOC Plaques

In the old days the trophies won at the International Rally could be held on the day for photo taking, but had to be handed in at the end of the day. A few years ago it was decided that the winner could take his trophy home, under the assumption that he would bring it back next year. This of course ...

The sliding contact is against the right edge of the inverted Y, just below the point where the colour changes from dark to bright red (click the photo to enlarge)
