Claude, those are Piper window winders and are different to the later 411/412 systems. My 410 also has factory fitted electric windows like these. They are fast and powerful, but the microswitches...

The ex-Bristol/Silverton Zele was on the FBHVC stand at the NEC show last year, or maybe the year before. I think it is owned by the last chairman of the FBHVC.
