Re: How many RIGHT HAND DRIVE 32 Cabriolets exist
They were popular on UK roads in the day with roll up windows better for our poor climate.

Re: How many RIGHT HAND DRIVE 32 Cabriolets exist
Photos believed to have been taken in the 50's or early 60's
here's the original owner of my cabriolet, Mr Gwylim Rice-Evans. Shortly after my acquisition of the cabriolet in the early eighties I managed to contact Mr Rice-Evans. A fascinating character. Not only a Brooklands time keeper but apparently also worked with Barns Wallace on the development of the bouncing bomb. Rice Evans was not a stickler for originality as the photos portray ! |

Re: How many RIGHT HAND DRIVE 32 Cabriolets exist
Maybe Duece Addict or you tiger1000
Can speak about the fender marker lights, it appears from your car tiger & the "old" photo's the marker lights "look" as if the cowl lights (Here in the US) were moved to the fender and turned vertical....is this the case??? And in the later pictures of your car, Tiger, they were changed for more aerodynamic ones??? I assume that was changed and the older ones were "factory" lights??? Or where there different suppliers for such??? Thanks Robert |

Re: How many RIGHT HAND DRIVE 32 Cabriolets exist
Here's another photo of the U.K. fender lamp used on '32s as well as on the '33-'34 Model 14 (the somewhat updated '32). This one is on the fender of a Model 14. A tear-drop shaped fender lamp was adopted on U.K. models 40 ('33-34) as shown on the second photo.

Re: How many RIGHT HAND DRIVE 32 Cabriolets exist
Interesting how German 32's by and large didn't use the fender marker lights but by 35 and moving forward they were more common in Germany. I think the type/style at that point was up to the individual Karrosserie as evidence by the ones on our 35, never seen another pair like these. Sorry for the "clarity" of them!!!
