Surely all of these Arrow Series have Servo assisted brakes!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid not, that was optional when the Arrow series first came into market, not sure at 75-76 though when they introduced the Topaz, I would say by that time you needed that to be standard feature!
ReplyDeleteSo, exactly which spec. was NOT fitted with Servo-brakes? An "acquaintance" of mine has a 1968 (February) Singer Vogue, which I believe is considered to be in the lower spec. half of the Arrow range, and that has Servo. brakes. Perhaps the Hillman Hinx didn't have Servo.?
