Re: [doc] NO REVERSE LIGHT

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reversing lights, as far as I know, did not become a requirement on 
cars in the UK until around 1979.  
My first car, a 1978 Mini 850 (jeez, showing my age!)didnt have them, 
but the 1979 Mini 1000 that I bought afterwards did.
