Watchlords

After encouragement from a fellow Lord with appropriate admiration for Crewe's wares, I've decided to set the Silver Spur II with the headlamps Rolls Royce intended.

I located a factory original LHD LH headlamp in the UK:



I was able to procu6this factory original in sealed box for 1/6 the retail of an aftermarket lamp because it is apparently "expired."



Silly Brits! Now to find a LHD RH lamp assembly and move into the 20th century.

You are pimping a Rolls with Bentley parts, boohhaha
Or what. A tad bit envious overhear.

WTF

No grab handles, oouga horn or curb feelers ???????????????
You Disappoint Me


And all this time I thought you were an actual automotive guy----------- silly me

Ugh. Just checked prices on such a lamp. I am less envious all of a sudden. Would send You some change, but cod got all I could spare already, which was, well, not so much, actually none. So sorry!

Spendy. Thanks for looking. The "expired" authentic LHD LH was £101 at Flying Spares. An aftermarket one sells for £600.

Expiration date on a lamp? Hope the filaments haven't gone to mold.

A few hundred is still ok. What I found (obviously I did not spend too long) ranged from 900 GBP to 2400 EUR.
Good luck with the chase!
