Stefan is correct. I had this exact same problem in a 404 (Arnolt) when I first purchased it (used). Somebody had bypassed the resistor. This will also burn up the points. My 40 year old memory...

I don't know the answer if the car is a 404. If it's an Arnolt Bristol the answer is no, it's only on the plate. However, I've been collecting Arnolt Bristol information for 40 years, so if you...

Sounds like a scam

Paypal is dormant? Can't send pictures? Sounds like a scam to me. Tell them you'll send the money after you receive the goods.

3004 is definitely on the drivers side frame rail of this LHD car, and it seems from the posts that it is on the drivers side of 3003 as well.

404-X Chassis Plate Location

That adds credence to my speculation on why it was on the left side on 3004. remember, the 404 for the home market was RHD. The tubing for the brake lines and chassis lube would have run along the...

2 Litre Key Fob

This is the key fob that came with my 404-X when I bought it in 1968. Probably not rare, but it is 50 or so years old. I would be interested to know how common these are.
