Front Bumper.

We have shewn a front bumper which is interchangeable between B.3. and B.50. We understand that it is to be made by Messrs.Wilmot Breedon. As the registered RR. ends are expensive, we have shewn a standard W.B. coiled end, 1.250 dia. The detail of the bumper FB.3613 should be altered to this design before issuing.

Headlamps.

We have shewn R.100, but P.100 and a modernised edition of the original Bentley lamp will be tried on the mock-up.

Horns.

These will have to be under the bonnet, due to the forward radiator and high cat-walk.

Fog Lamp.

A central fog-lamp is not possible with the forward sloping radiator, so two FT.37 lamps are shewn.

We are instructing a complete mock-up of the frontal appearance to be made.
