- New Blockley tyres and inner tubes
- chrome-plated bonnet hinge,
- New indicator and rear light lenses,
- Stainless steel door mirror brackets and mirrors.

This Traction is fitted with a 12-volt battery conversion with isolator, thermostatically-controlled electric radiator fan, new alternator and ignition coil, distributor and leads, electric fuel pump & windscreen washers which helps with daily use.
