I am certainly intending to convert the brake lights, tail lights, side lights and indicators to LED they are so much more noticeable in daylight conditions. However, I rarely use my 16/80 at night and would prefer to keep the headlamps as original. I may be strange but I dislike the look of the LED bulbs because they look odd in the P80 headlamps.

I stand corrected chaps, I’ve never been in one so I shall look forward to that experience one day! 😀

I really like the DB Lagonda Rapides. One has to view them as luxury saloons in the vein of Bentleys rather than GT cars like Astons. This one was displayed at Kensington Palace a part of the Aston Martin centenary event in 2013.

Doh… Okay, what type of Lagonda is it? It’s not a registration number (as far as I can tell) and I don’t believe there wasn’t a Lagonda Type LR 127 so I just wondered… Is it Lagonda Rapide chassis no 127? :p

Can I ask what LR127 is?

Out of interest, what were the modern enhancements you mentioned back in 2017? I’m considering LED side lights, indicators and brake lights. Anything else?

p.s. which car is it that you are testing?

So it is. When they colourised the photo they forgot to colour the cockpit to match the gun aimer’s bubble. Perhaps when looking at the B&W image they didn’t realise it was part of the aircraft.

Thanks for the responses, I found a supplier on eBay and at ?25 I bought two just in case another ever gets cracked. 😀

Thanks Bill, food for thought.

Hi Bill, out of interest,because I want to do the same on my 16/80, what folding screen did you use? Was it from a 2 litre?

I have since heard that it sold for ?104,000 by Bonhams and that Prestige & Vintage sold it for approaching ?200k

How much did it sell for at Bonhams Goodwood Auction? Their website simply says sold without stating an amount.

Hi Bill, I am not a 3 Litre aficionado so should I take it that this is non-folding screen?

I own a 16/80 which has a screen the opens from the bottom and the idea of a fold down screen rather appeals to me but by the sound of it that’s exactly what you did to your 3 Litre too.
