1931 all stainless English Headlamp
 

This is the headlamp that would have been fitted to the Gilmore English Deluxe Phaeton. I wonder if she still has them? Note stainless buttons over rivets and mounting ball. It rains in England….

Do you have a photo of the front of those British headlights where you can see the unique purple tint in the glass lens?

Hi Brad

Yes attached pic is an English headlight lens with the purple/magenta/lilac tint. They are getting hard to find

On the edge you can see Dad's 31 Cabriolet has commercial English sidelights. We've got some proper stainless car 30/31 style ones somewhere (no not for sale!) which belong to another project

Dad's 28 Phaeton has 28/29 English car sidelights fitted

The bikes in the background are mine. A '75 XS650, a '74 SC500 and a '71 H1A in many parts in case anyone was curious :)

Cheers
