Hi Michael,
a dual system enables me to spread the brake work over some time without
taking the car off the road. I can remove the rear brake components, renovate
them on the bench and plug the lines so I can drive with the front brakes only
vise versa.
Is the term "emergency brake" or "parking brake"?
Once I commented to a classic car dealer in the states (while
negotiating a '66 Mustang)
that the emergency brake was non-functional. His comment was: "that is
acceptable, you only need it in an emergency".

Why would you want to do that? If emergency brake works correctly - then inn
effect you are ok.
Dual brake systems did not come into general use till the 1970's - somehow all
the cars before that managed to drive on the road with a single system.
