NY submitted this idea :
My mum's 1960 Morris Minor had orange (not red/white) indicators, at least
when mum bought it second-hand in 1966. They may have been fitted after-sale,
because it also had trafficators that still worked. I wonder if Mum had them
fitted when she bought the car.

I don't remember any white indicators, except in US cars. I half
remember a conversion of the mechanical arm trafficators, where the
trafficator slot had a fixed orange sticky out lens mounted over the
slot, with a built-in flasher.

Our Zephyr Zodiac (early 50s) had flashing indicators but they were red at the
back and white at the front.

Yes. As a kid, a neighbour was a pilot at a port in the middle east - so
away most of the time. On a spell of leave, he arrived in a brand new LHD
Mk1 Zodiac - early 50s. With a horn ring and flashing indicators. Think
this may have been before the car was available in the UK. I was most
impressed. Dad have a very secondhand Morris Minor. Only unusual thing
about that was it had a radio. And heater.
