When I built my car back in the 1990's, I used the VW donor car's wiring harness while adding a bunch of stuff to it. Believe me, I would have been better off just getting a wiring harness from Vintage and get it over with. Still, it was OK except for that 10-place torpedo-cartridge fuse thingie used in the Volkswagen (honestly, you cannot call that abomination a "fuse panel").
So the same day that I found my Chrysler seats in a salvage yard, I also walked past a Sterling 827 which had donated it's engine. There, in the engine bay, was a beautiful fuse and relay combo sporting a bunch of Bosch relays. It was perfect! After checking with the counter guys and getting the OK, I went back, cut all of the wires going to it and brought it home. It's been great in my Speedster for the past 20 years. The Sterling 827 was about the last in their line of weird amalgams of cars made of different manufacturer's parts.
But what the heck was that Sterling I stole it from? Well, the guys at LeMons Racing had a Sterling 827 show up and did a whole video on it, so here you go and I finally know why the engine was missing from that nice, junk yard car:
