wondered what cool factory options there was, and has anyone got any cool ones?
i noticed the breadvan has 3 spare dash blanks, i know one is for heated seats, what are the others for?
did breadvans ever have slide n tilts or just coupes?

Mine has SSA (Stop Start System)
Its pretty cool the way it just turns the car off when you take it out of gear and turns it back on when you put it back into gear

It works sometimes, i think it depends on how the car is feeling

I had a mk2 ranger with a metal sunroof, and I've had 3 mk3 squarebacks with them fitted too. One of the lower dash blanks is for the SSA, not sure what the other is for.
factory extras

Bonnet lip as in one of these?
Standard on the pre-84 mk2 saloons.
I found out reecently the two switch blanks to the right of the steering wheel below the headlight switch can be used for electric windows. Someone was breaking a car with a set on club polo.
