Mk1 Ford Capri hazard lights?

[jludwik]

I recently got myself a 1970 mk1 Ford Capri which is unregistered, and need to get it over the pits. Am I right in assuming that these did not originally come standard with hazard lights?
I managed to get myself a workshop manual for it (SP manual) but that fails to give any information on the dashboard controls. The previous owner seems to have made some some changes to what I think were blank spaces above the window wiper rocker switch; and most photos I see of the interiors don't have a hazard light switch that I can see. Sorry if this is a mundane question, just wanted some confirmation so I'm locked and loaded with answers if they bring it up

Hi. Unlike japanese cars, ford cars from england in the 70's didn't need hazard lights. People saw that it was an english ford and therefore recognized it as a hazard without any flashing lights. Cheers MD

They were only just starting to be introduced here on some Japanese cars in 1970, a mostly unheard of feature at the time. Even locally built cars never had them then.

the number of times I actually see anyone using them, I'd say the still don't have them on most cars here

Capri's never had a hazard light switch and under Australia's Design Rules of the day, hazard light switches were not mandatory at all. I recall buying an after market switch from Repco or Dynamic Auto Accessories and fitting it to my 1969 Cortina that I bought in late 1972.
