Re: Paint style on late LWB tourer 1934

This is my second reply to the last post, the first having disappeared into the ether....

However, very interesting photo (stop yawning the rest of you!). The photo does not show clearly the lighter blue band, and as it is on the bonnet side (I think) it may not be original to the car. It would be informative to see what the windscreen pillar on the right looks like, and any fine lines discovered on the body tub would be a more convincing discovery. I have a spare tin of Nitromors if you want it.......

Re: Paint style on late LWB tourer 1934

I never thought I would be discussing tiny details like this...

The light blue might be a figment of my imagination. There are traces of the red lines on the main body, it is just that the end of the bonnet is where you can see there are two of them, clearly. One the other side, at the front, the lines are brought together to a V shaped starting point.

Tomorrow it is supposed to be sunny, so I could do more pics of the very small traces I can see.

No matter how closely I look I can see no detail on the base of the pillars, there is no indication of lines under the paint.

But I will look again, and send a few pictures.

Cheers
