Auto-electrical Numbering Code Convention
John Savage (2007) has contributed the following from his auto-electrical experience of the numbering used on electrical components & wiring. I have added a few more to his list. Subsequent enquiry has established that these wiring codes are part of a DIN Standard, DIN 47.002, for auto-electrical wiring.

General Information & Description
Being on old, Italian electrical system, the Aurelia does have problems and it is often wise to rewire the car if a restoration is undertaken. A number of cars have been lost by fire through unexpected shorts in equipment or wiring. A battery isolator would be sensible during storage.
The original equipment was mostly Marelli or Carello (lights). A number of items are now being remade in Italy, the UK & elsewhere.
