Mine's the later version .. just needs a different ignition switch with the extra position (as with Mini, Midget, etc) and the newer starter solenoid .. and I had a friend breaking a Riley Elf .. source for my A35 for various parts including the SU and manifolds, and the starter electrics. And the MkII badge!
I did it because I had idiot mate's who would pull the starter knob while the engine was running!! My flywheel ring-gear was suffering!!! Later moved the ignition switch to the RIGHT of the column which when you are right-handed is much more convenient.
