UK-assembled cars, or more specifically cars with harnesses installed at Thames Ditton, would have had predominantly braided cotton cable insulation covering, assembled by Lucas into a black cotton-braided harness. There were some exceptions in that some cables were pvc covered. General wires were 14/0.25 (or 0.30), but other unprotected circuits such as headlamps etc. were heavier gauge. Most connections were by crimped or soldered bullets, but the design of these has changed very slightly recently.
