405 battery.

9 October 2020/in General advice/by John Harris

Please can anyone advise on a supplier for a correct battery for a 405. I am rebuilding the ex Ken Evans car and need a decent battery to start the engine. It seems the type 244 is the nearest to the original Lucas but no one seems to have one. All suggestions welcome. John.
