The most notable is lack of headrests in the early V8s but thanks to a suggestion from Giles Parsons I hope to be sorting this soon with some from an MGB.
David, I'd be interested to know how you plan to fit those MGB headrests. I have opted for an easier install that screws into the back of the seat which I believe is wood. There's a pic here http://www.bristolcars.info/forums/8...html#post10710 but they are not installed yet. I suspect the MGB ones would probably provide better resistance to a whiplashing head.
